When Roman commander, Gaius, and flamen, Romaris, go on a routine slave-drive through the barbarous lands, they end up with more than they had bargained for.
In a far-north village, a settlement thought to be too remote for Roman reach, a coming-of-age ritual turns into prophecy. Thalwyn's hopes and dreams are shattered as her faith in the future betrays her, and she is left placing her hope in the most unlikely of men. But as flames devour all she knows, and minds give in to the strain around her, can he reach her in time for prophecy to come true?
Korstan, a warrior like none before him, gets thrown off kilter when he is bound to the village's last hope. In despair, he leaves ceremonies early, only to return to blood and ash. Racing after the enemy, he learns more and more about himself. Surprises he never expected. Will he succumb to the pressure before the frost covers all? Or will the wælcyrge have her vengeance?
