“If you’re ever hungry, Pappy will provide. And if you’re lost, he will be your guide. But when his face is painted yellow... you must hide.”

Gorm taught this rhyme to his granddaughter, Asta, so she could protect herself when her grandfather, once the fiercest of all berserkers, daubs his face with sopp—a substance that transforms him into an enraged beast impervious to injuries... and prevents him from telling friend from foe.

But predator has now become prey, and he and Asta must evade three huntresses after being found by the body of their felled leader. The old Viking will have to do whatever it takes to survive and save his granddaughter.
