Of all the gifts Hela has given her children, to touch the dark stands tallest. Touch to be one with the dark. Trust in the dark, and you will be led to Niflhym. Where all truths hide.
Touch to be one with the dark.
Do not look away.
Before the Order of the Sun... Before Patrice... Before Rhayna... Before Tumas. There was Brenna. The Seer King brings order. through his leadership, all the wayward tribes of Thrace now answer to him. Yet, enemies uncounted come for the Thracian people and their Seer King. When a blooded warrior, Brenna Ionadottir, finds enemies at her doorstep, she brings the news to her family; and to the Seer King. As the battle for Thrace is fought, and lost, truths are revealed as to the Seer King's true motives. Brenna and her companions must flee in the face of utter destruction. Their headlong flight reveals the truth of the Old Gods, and sorcery, and mystery hidden in ancient belief. Brenna rushes headfirst along the path to her destiny, to forge a Mortal Sword. If she stops, they die.
Clinging to hope on the front lines of battle, these heroes must persevere as fires rise and shadows fall before them.
