In 2017 Cat Jarmin came into the possession of a small orange bead. Her investigation into its origins would cast radical new light on the Vikings - from the surprisingly extensive Scandinavian forays into the East to the dominance of a global slave trade running between the silk roads and medieval Britain.
This is a major reassessment and a thrilling investigative story, revealing both the world of the Vikings and the cutting-edge forensic methods we use to understand them.
