Embers & Glory

In the land of the dead, no man is king . . . Jarl Beckström, Clan Lord of Norvaask, has done the impossible. With the help of his friends, he forged an alliance with Jotungard—their bitterest rival—and installed a new ruler upon the throne. Now he turns his focus inward to strengthen his people for the impending war. But as they prepare, the world crumbles down around them. The Freeze is looming, and entire clanholds are being destroyed. With every warrior that falls in battle, the undead horde only grows stronger. They're spreading westward like an unstoppable plague. Time is running out. Meanwhile, Freya Beckström has escaped captivity and found an unlikely mentor—Hjalmar, the Old Man of the Tundra. Together, they embark on a journey to uncover an ancient weapon, something they hope will be strong enough to defeat Siryyx the Devourer once and for all. Hope rests in unity. Only by setting aside their blood feud can the people of Norvaask survive total annihilation.
