A northern saga of ascent and death. Brodvar dreamed of becoming a leader who would rule with cold reason and the loyalty of sharpened steel. But he wasn’t ready for the long-awaited title to come to him after the treacherous murder of his father and brother. Revenge for the killing of his relatives becomes a heavy burden for the new leader. A loyal ally is accused of the crime; war against him will have serious consequences. Brodvar does not believe in betrayal and begins searching for answers that threaten to destroy not only his life, but the entire North. The path of a young leader will run through pain and despair, fire and ice, and bloody battles. Only this way boys grow into men, and men into warriors—to carve their names into history and become legends.
