After losing his lover and his only friend in a battle against impossible odds, Barrin White-Hair retreats from the world and returns to the land that birthed him in the hopes of finding answers to his lost heritage.
Upon returning to Yaavik, he finds that great changes have been wrought in his absence and the fierce, hardy people he once knew are now cowed and subjugated by forces beyond their power to withstand.
Captured and his greatest gift torn from him, Barrin, with the aid of a strange, otherworldly female warrior, Revna, who almost proves his match, he must escape the clutches of a powerful enemy, rally his people and bring back their lust for war that once made them feared throughout the world.
In an epic tale that stretches across the snow-bound wastes of his childhood home, Barrin must prove to his people, and to himself, that he is capable of leading them, for they are Yaaviki, and they are war!
The second book in the 'Man of War' swords & sorcery series.
