A forgotten legend. A shattered destiny. A quest through the edges of ancient myths and legends.
In 652 BC, in the Celtic lands of the Arverni, Athanor - guardian of the sacred mountains of Alisanos - lived in peace, honored by his people and deeply in love with Anna, his twin flame. But one fateful night, everything that gave meaning to his life is torn away...
Athanor has failed in his duty. As the sanctuary they were meant to protect is desecrated by strangers from distant lands, Anna vanishes under tragic circumstances.
And amid the chaos, the unthinkable happens: a sacred creature - the Thunder Eagle, unknown even to his own people - is stolen.
Why has this mythical bird, the gods' favorite, been taken? Who are these outsiders reckless enough to challenge divine forces? And above all, what ancient prophecy are they so desperate to stop from unfolding?
Now, the wrath of the gods stirs. The balance of the world hangs by a thread. Seeking vengeance and redemption, Athanor has no choice but to embark on a relentless pursuit - one that will lead him to the farthest reaches of the ancient world... and beyond.
On this odyssey, where no one knows how far he'll have to go, Athanor will face dangers he never imagined - greater even than the demons gnawing at his soul. And through the storm of chaos and shadows, one thing will remain: the echo of a love stronger than death, stronger even than the gods themselves.
