Blood of the Son

The Forest wants a child.
The Blood wants a king.
The gods are watching - but will save no one.

When creatures emerge from the Forever Forest, giants carved with runes and bound to Blood Magic, the kingdom of Valnar begins to break.

Alfred is sent north to face them. But something ancient is waking within his blood.

His brother Carl wants no part of war or destiny. Yet in the capital, he is drawn into a into a truth far darker than he ever imagined.

Earl Osmund has already made his choice. Guided by a Blood Priest from an ancient empire beyond the mountains, he will tear the kingdom apart. Even if it costs him his soul.

As war spreads and the forest begins to stir:

Brother against destiny.
Man against monster.
Blood against blood.

Because in Valnar, power is never given.

It is taken.

And it always demands a price.
