An infamous and deadly warrior, Radnor Magnusson desired only vengeance upon the gods that destroyed his homeland-until the fateful day he sought rest at a town of farmers and witnessed its destruction. With the reluctant acceptance of the survivors, Radnor must set aside his quest for revenge and protect them as they flee to the city of Wulfgeld. Meeting both friends and foes among the refugees, Radnor meets a survivor named Elena, and the pair ignite a bond that was forged by fate long before they were born.

Radnor and the refugees must learn to work together if they are to survive the journey, and they will need even the unlikeliest of allies if they are to face the horrors that await them in Wulfgeld.
