Exiled from the brutal Ashbrand Marauders for sparing a life, Knox—scarred, flame-eyed, and wielding the infernal greataxe Embercleave—walks a path of vengeance through the war-scarred peaks of Drazhul’s Teeth. Battling raiders, forest horrors, and his own haunted past, Knox carves a name in blood and fire. In a world where mercy is punished and power is earned by violence, he becomes a storm on two legs, marching toward fate, driven by fury and the bonds of a darker calling.
