Conrad Ivorson, a warrior, protector of the Northern Reaches, is thrust into a world of prophecy and Gods as he travels from the frozen North to the Marble City in the South. Ostracised for his northern ways, he must carve out a home in the south where slaves are bought and sold, not knowing that the most powerful Goddess of all, helped by her sons, is desperate to kill him before he can fulfill the prophecy fortold hundreds of years before he was born. Can he save himself, and all of Heilagar, before the Gods ruin all?
