- Halvdan is not a proper Viking. He has a limp, and is regarded by the other kids as a strange loner with no friends; except for the village blacksmith Björn who's taken care of him since Halvdan's father left on a plundering trip. Across the mighty river there's an enemy village that has been in a feud with Halvdan's tribe for as long as anyone can remember. One day during Halvdan's lonely excursions to the river, he encounters Meia, the daughter of the enemy village ruler. A heart-warming and funny family adventure about bridging differences and forbidden friendships. unfolds.
- Two neighboring Norwegian villages are bitter rivals for generations, under hostile petty Viking chiefs styled 'kings'. In one, limping orphan Halfdan, adopted by the cripple blacksmith, has a hard time growing up, bullied by stronger, brutish knaves, his keen brain being disregard as unmanly. In the border woodland he meets and befriends Meia, 'princess' of the rival village and an indomitable tomcat rebuked as not ladylike, Hostility prevents the villages from prospering for lack of collaboration, while every problem is blindly blamed on the 'enemy'. The maverick kids conspire with the women to join the forces, but old feuds die hard as the pride 'rulers' and their men stubbornly vilify their opponents, yet Halfdan outsmarts them all.—KGF Vissers
