As the land of Vigrið teeters on the brink of conflict, three warriors find their destinies intertwined: • A huntress embarking on a perilous quest that will challenge everything she believes • A noblewoman determined to carve her name into the songs of battle • A thrall seeking vengeance among the feared mercenaries known as the Bloodsworn Their choices will shape the fate of the world as ancient powers stir and darkness rises once more beneath the shadow of the long-dead gods.
