A Norse-inspired epic of ancient guardians, rune magic, and the unity of clans.
When a fissure opens in the frozen earth, an ancient hunger rises - threatening every clan of the North. To survive, the clans must unite and awaken the Iron-Shaped, an ancient guardian carved from stone and seiðr. Aesgir the axe wielder and Eirik The Shield, whose oath anchors the world itself, stand at the heart of this fragile alliance as they battle the darkness beneath the mountains.
As the clans forge the Great Seal - a living fortress of stone, root, water, and frost - old rivalries must fall away. New bonds must be forged. And the next generation must learn to wield rune magic and remember why unity matters.
This sweeping northern fantasy continues the saga begun in The Raven’s Call and The Wolf Marked, carrying the story into legend as the clans fight not just for survival, but for the future of the North.
Perfect for fans of The Broken Earth Trilogy, The Faithful and the Fallen, and Norse-inspired epic fantasy.
