Generations before the Northmen's king, on the southern continent, the nomadic Elniri gather for a Great Hunt-and a reckoning. Three young leaders step forward-Anthravai, the battle-hardened warrior with a wolf's stare; Vyndassi, a precise thinker whose compassion keeps colliding with conquest; and Thorsti, a brilliant, volatile rider who believes problems end where his blade does.
Long before armies march, a cliff opens Anthravai's life: he loses his brother to the sea and, years later, frees a mysterious woman sealed in the rock. Whether goddess, witch, or the oldest kind of secret, she tempts destiny into his camp and steadies his gaze on a crown no tribe has ever worn. From that haunted cliff the path tilts north. The Gathering ignites the Elniri under his banner. A monster hunt becomes a manifesto: if fear rules nations, the Elniri will master fear. Harbors burn, palaces break, and kings die.
A quieter battle sharpens: Anthravai's conviction that destiny is a road he will ride to its end; Vyndassi's belief that an empire that survives must be worth surviving in; and Thorsti's grief-hardened certainty that mercy breeds revolt. Around them, oaths are spoken (and broken), a vow of marriage becomes a war-cry, and old legends breathe through living trees. Between omens and ambushes, vows and betrayals, the brothers-in-arms must decide what kind of empire they're building-and what price they'll pay to keep it.
Conquerors: Rise of the Emperor opens with a hunt and drives headlong into siege, sea battles, and council-chamber brinkmanship. It is the story of a conquest that tests its conquerors-of gods older than rumor, trees that remember, and a leader who believes the world will bow... if he can hold his brothers together long enough to claim it.
Perfect for readers of John Gwynne, Joe Abercrombie, and R.F. Kuang, Conquerors blends epic military fantasy with sea-borne invasions, brutal sieges, and morally gray leaders bound by blood-oaths and prophecy. Expect visceral cavalry charges and a wolf-banner warlord chasing a destiny older than gods-balanced by a strategist who wonders what kind of empire deserves to endure. If you crave sweeping worldbuilding, ruthless politics, and the ache of hard-won loyalty, raise the Wolf Banner and begin the conquest today.
