The boy who would come to be named Ghost was with a group of Viking colonizers who planned to exterminate the local population. Their longboat was shipwrecked, leaving Ghost as the traumatized sole survivor. A native woman finds Ghost in the wreckage and adopts him as her own son.
Years later, Ghost remains tormented by his dreams, which along with his different appearance, interfere with his ability to fully assimilate into the community. He has feelings for a young woman from an allied tribe named Starfire, the daughter of Pathfinder, a man searching for a worthy successor.
Later, while hunting and gathering with the group, a young girl from Ghost’s tribe wanders off, encounters a Viking scouting party and is attacked. She escapes back to the village, but is followed by the Vikings. They raze the village and slaughter nearly everyone, except a few men whom they want to murder individually in “duels”.
Ghost arrives back at the village too late to save the villagers and sees his adoptive father murdered by Gunnar, the Viking leader. The Vikings decide to make Ghost duel; he maims his opponent and escapes. Injured during the pursuit, he hides in a cave where he is found by the allied tribe’s hunting party. They bring him home, and the warriors discuss taking the initiative against the Viking invaders. Ghost, however, informs them of the savagery and ferocity of their foe, and warns them that their wood and stone weapons are no match for the metal armour and blades of the Vikings. Ghost advises the villagers that their only chance of survival is to flee, and he departs to take on the Vikings alone.
He finds that he has been covertly followed by a mute admirer. In an abandoned village, they set a series of traps. Starfire, meanwhile, has chosen to leave the tribe and finds Ghost and his colleague. The three kill the Vikings off individually, stealing armor and weapons. Pathfinder, like his daughter, also finds Ghost and joins the fight. Eventually, both the mute and Pathfinder are killed, and Ghost and Starfire are captured. Ghost is recognized as the son of a Viking. The Vikings threaten to torture Starfire if Ghost will not betray the location of other villages, so Ghost agrees to help the Vikings.Read more
