Vinland Saga 2nd Season Synopsis
Following the death of his father and the destruction of his village at the hands of English raiders, Einar wishes for a peaceful life with his family on their newly rebuilt farms. However, fate has other plans: his town is invaded again. Einar watches helplessly as Danish marauders burn his land and slaughter his family. The invaders capture Einar and take him to Denmark as a slave.
Einar clings to his mother’s last words to survive. He is bought by Ketil, a kind slave owner and landowner who promises that Einar will be able to regain his freedom in exchange for working in the fields. Soon, Einar meets his new partner in the farm’s cultivation: Thorfinn, a despondent and melancholy slave. As Einar and Thorfinn work together to win their freedom, they find themselves haunted by both the sins of the past and the ploys of the present. Yet they press on, holding on to a glimmer of hope, redemption, and peace in a world that is nothing but unfair and unforgiving.
