Revenge and death, like inseparable sisters, follow Olar’s the Forgotten—an intermediary between the worlds of the living and the dead. His old enemy has left his lair and is committing evil in the northern lands. Driven by an icy flame of hatred, Olar seeks the Citadel of the Master of Storms to erase it from the face of the earth.
His companion is Rangrid, the Ever-Traitor. His guide is a deaf fossegirm that plays a melody of human hearts. His hope is Fyalbjor n Draug and a fleet that sails into nowhere.
Meanwhile, Olar still doesn’t know whom he should fear more: the old enemy—or friends like these?
