The Northern Kingdom is dying. The southern invaders tighten their noose around the capital, and our last great hope lies captive in their dungeons. King Frank Iero, his tattoos stark against the wool of his travel cloak, has lost patience with conventional war. In the dead of night, he mounted his last trusted steed and rode hard for the forbidden border of the Blackwood. The villagers call it haunted, home to a witch whose magic comes at a terrible cost. Frank doesn’t care about the cost. He pushes through the tangled, skeletal trees, his jaw set, his mind fixed on one grim purpose: to find the sorceress and secure a power that can turn the tide before his world falls to ash.
