In a world scarred by forgotten gods and fractured oaths, fourteen-year-old Valdrik of Askholm dreams only of belonging. Valdrik exists on the margins of a Viking-like society. Marked by the amber-gold eyes that set him apart from his adopted clan, he struggles to belong among the hardened seafarers of Uppsala. But when the sacred festival of Hjol ends in fire, blood, and tragedy—Valdrik is thrust into a destiny forged long before his birth.
