Ahmad Ibn Fadlan is a Arab diplomat, but after falling in love with the wife of a man of great power, he is sent to Norse territory, and enjoys their hospitality, until they are attacked. A phrophecy states that the thirteenth warrior must be of a distant land if they are to succeed, and so he must join a party of twelve. A party that will attempt to destroy the mysterious nemesis.
Ahmad is no warrior. It is only as the story progresses that he discovers his capabilities, and grows to be a warrior. His talents with a sword may not be great, but when given a large knife he is almost undefeated. The group of thirteen must battle the forces of strange cannabalistic half-men, resembling monkeys.
