A prophecy spoken in the ash. A kingdom bought with blood.
Magne is the Wolf of the North, a fiercely loyal Jarl who has spent his life defending the frozen borders of Vestfold. Exhausted and battered from a brutal military campaign, he stumbles into a corrupted coastal marsh and encounters three twisted seers. They offer a dark, impossible vision of the future. They name him High King.
The seed of ambition takes root. Pushed by the relentless will of his wife, Signy, and infected by the parasitic magic of the Rot-Seidr, Magne commits the ultimate treason. He slaughters his sovereign under his own roof.
The crown is secured, but the cost is devastating. The murder tears a cosmic wound in the fabric of their world. The land begins to rot, and the dark magic demands a horrific physical toll from those who wield it. Paranoia quickly consumes the new High King. The surviving lords are whispering, the dead king's heirs have vanished into the freezing wilderness, and Magne soon realizes that his closest friends are now his greatest threats.
To hold his stolen throne, Magne must plunge the realm into a relentless cycle of slaughter before the creeping decay consumes his mind and his kingdom completely.
Perfect for fans of John Gwynne, Joe Abercrombie, and brutal, mythic retellings.
