A captain’s ambition, a ruthless rival, and a land that defies them both.

Overview

Denmark, 1755. Captain Ludvig Kahlen sets out to conquer a Danish heath reputed to be uncultivable, with an impossible goal: to establish a colony in the name of the king, in exchange for a royal title.

Kahlen's fate hangs in the balance: will his endevours bring him wealth and honour, or cost him his life...?
