VIKING er Jeanette Varbergs brede fortælling om vikingetiden. Hun sætter vikingetogterne i centrum og skriver om de vikinger, der kom til at sætte deres spor i hele datidens Europa. Fra Irland til Rusland, fra Grønland til Middelhavet blev vikingerne en del af historien, og de træder frem i arkæologien og kilderne. Nordens krigere satte sejl i en jagt på guld, ære og i sidste ende land. Plyndringer, slagmarker og magtkampe, politiske magtspil, rænkespil og landvindinger er alle facetter af fortællingen om vikingerne ude i Skandinavien og Europa. Samtidig så tiden en stærk udvikling af de skandinaviske kongedømmer, store konger samlede magten og grundlagde det Danmark, vi kender.
