Magic and Mayhem abound in this Norse mythos inspired tale.
Recently freed from prison, Vidarr Allefar gathers his allies and treks across the dangerous wilds to reach his kin, who are-per the Aether beings, H and M-about to be annihilated. Along the way he is joined by Rikk Mluvnal, a dvaerg skald, and learns more about his sparkling spirits, the fylgjae.
Bandits and beast stall their hurried sprint across the driest steppes Vidarr has ever seen. Injuries force him to develop his nascent magical powers: healing, emotion sensing, and mind travel. Reaching his kin in time drives Vidarr forth. But what he finds at the d'oglemann village forces him to pursue a desperate plan.
Will his growing talents be enough to stop the Legion from killing his kin? And what of the Asken de Gulles' clan leader whose lust for power is an unforeseen danger to them all?
