The heir must prove his worth or die trying.
As the son of the Northern Realm’s Defender, Meredoch was expected to inherit his father’s legacy. Raised among the dwarves of Ordumair, he was seen by some as the one who might finally bring peace between Ordumair and its ancient enemy, Ecthelowall.
But when Ordumair’s Thane is killed, Meredoch’s family is exiled, and the future once promised to him is stripped away.
Forced from prestige into poverty, Meredoch must grow up far from the honor and influence that once defined his name. As the years pass, his father’s once-revered legacy begins to tarnish, leaving Meredoch to question everything he believed about his family, his future, and his place in the world.
Then an artifact of immeasurable worth to Ordumair is discovered.
If it falls into the wrong hands, those Meredoch serves and loves could face destruction. Racing against dark forces and battling creatures believed to exist only in myth, Meredoch must decide whether he will remain in the shadow of exile or rise to claim the inheritance he was born for.
A sweeping fantasy adventure of legacy, courage, sacrifice, and the fight to claim one’s rightful place.
