In the age of vikings and dragons, two warriors are shaped by fire and fate, one born to protect, the other snatched away as a youth. Leofric, a boy torn from his homeland by Viking raiders, is beaten, broken, and reforged in the crucible of battle. Under the brutal hand of his captor, Farfel, and the reluctant guidance of a seasoned Spaniard, Leofric becomes a warrior. As the Northmen's conquests stretch across seas and seasons, Leofric must decide if his loyalty lies with the savage men who raised him, or with the distant memory of the life they stole. Godwulf, marked by something greater than mere steel, trains under the enigmatic Komo in the shadow of dragons. The path to power leads him to the elusive Clan Amethyst, guardians of the Draco Supreme. In solitude and hardship, he must prove himself worthy of an audience with Hycrest, the eldest of the ancient protectors. But destiny is not a path easily walked, and greater forces stir in the darkened corners of the world. Across frozen seas and mist-shrouded peaks, through bloodied battlefields and fire-lit temples, their stories unfold, bound by war, driven by fate, and tested by the gods themselves.
