Fate is not finished with Brand … and his future is beyond imagining.

The city of Red Cardoroth lives up to its name. Blood stains its mighty battlement. Countless bodies, the remains of the horde’s spent attacks, lie without. Yet the dark host still lays siege, a seething mass of hate-filled enemies, and nothing but total slaughter will sate their lust for revenge.

The king can no longer just defend - or the relentless swords of the enemy will be victorious. He must seek a way to pluck victory from inevitable defeat.

And Brand, newly aware of his great destiny, must choose whether to embrace it, or to run.
