Synopsis

The award-winning author continues the epic fantasy series that began with Werenight and Prince of the North as a bold warrior comes into his own.

Though he has taken the reins of power in the North, Gerin the Fox has no time to enjoy his victory. The gods reveal to him that a grave danger is approaching. Now he must face a new enemy, the Gradi, a people who follow ruthless gods. The Gradi not only conquer lands, but destroy them so completely as to render them uninhabitable. To stop this menace and truly be King of the Northlands, Gerin will have to make uncomfortable alliances . . . and survive a war of gods.
