När du inte kan skydda alla vem ska du då rädda?
Den ökände jarlen Torfinn Skallklyve har misslyckats med planen att döda sin son. Einar Unnsons gudagivna raseri, som gör honom dödsbringande i strid, blev slutet för männen som Torfinn skickade för att mörda honom.
Nu riktar jarlen istället hämnden mot Einars mor hans förrymda sängträl som tagit sin tillflykt till Island. Einar, som är landsförvisad från ön, kan inte skydda henne. Han har gjort sig till den mäktige kung Erik Blodyx fiende och tvingas slåss för sitt liv, om han överhuvudtaget ska kunna komma till sin mors undsättning.
Einar är beroende av sina fränder de blodtörstiga vargkrigarna men de har blivit övertygade om att ödet förbannat dem. Kommer Einars skicklighet i strid att vara tillräcklig för att på egen hand rädda sin mor? Eller kommer vargkrigarnas vidskeplighet att förgöra dem alla?

Einar ska bli krigare, vare sig han vill det eller inte. Det är Einar Unnssons öde att bli en mäktig isländsk krigare.
Han besitter en sällsynt gåva som gör honom dödsbringande i strid. Redan har han lyckats förgöra männen som hans ökände far jarl Torfinn Skallklyve skickade för att döda honom. Trots det väljer han att vända striden ryggen för att bli bard.
När tre män attackerar honom är Einars kväden till föga hjälp. Som tur är räddas han av en skicklig bågskytt den iriska prinsessan Affreka. Hon hade utgått ifrån att Einar skulle samla ihop en armé för att utmana Torfinn om makten över jarldömet på Orkneyöarna. Nu är hon fast besluten att få honom på rätt väg igen.
Snart finner sig Einar intrasslad i Affrekas eget uppdrag. Hon är på jakt efter Korpfanan åt kung Erik Blodyx av Norge. Legenden gör gällande att fanan, som besitter en kraftfull magi, var en gåva från självaste Oden. Det sägs att den armé som marscherar under fanan aldrig kan förlora.
Sökandet utlöser en rad händelser som är bortom Einars kontroll, och han har inget annat val än att möta ödet och ännu en gång dra sitt svärd.

Krigshoten tornar upp sig från alla håll, det ena sveket följer på det andra och snart inser Einar att den ende han kan lita på är sig själv.
Odens spel är första delen i Legenden om valens väg.

År 916 flyr en ung kvinna från sitt hem på Orkneyöarna för att rädda livet på sitt ofödda barn. Arton år senare siar en völva att ondskan från det förflutna är på väg tillbaka och kommer att sträcka ut sin långa arm efter kvinnans son.
Einar Unnsson har levt hela sitt liv på Island tillsammans med sin mor. Nu, arton år gammal, förkunnas han fredlös och tvingas i landsflykt. Hans mor Unn råder honom att söka upp den fruktade krigaren Torfinn jarl även kallad Skallklyve på Orkneyöarna.
Jarlen och hans män på Orkneyöarna är skeptiska, men Einar får en chans att visa sig värdig. Han följer med Torfinns män ut på havet för att driva in skatt på Irland. Men snart urartar uppdraget och Einar blir indragen i ett dödligt spel om kontrollen över Iriska sjön. Ett spel där krigare, kungar och jarlar alla är brickor och pjäser på gudarnas bräde.
