DEFY FATE.
DEFY GODS.
DEFY EVERYONE.
When Oben’s farm is sacked by marauding Skalgs, he embarks on a deadly quest for revenge, leaving pious Edale behind to enter the godless north.
But Skaligar is a strange place, and his enemies are full of surprises, which will push his endurance and his faith to their limits. He finds himself an unwitting pawn in their ancient prophesy; one which tells of a Conduit who will deliver the south into their hands.
If Oben is to see his homeland again, he must not only survive, he must prove the prophesy wrong, whilst exacting vengeance on those to whom he grows ever more bound.
