For Erik, a warrior plagued by visions of the future, the world ended when the sails of a foreign crusade appeared on the horizon. His home of Ravens Landing is gone, burnt to cinders by an enemy that brought not only steel but a terrifying divine wrath. Wounded and desperate, Erik is carried to the gates of Norhaven, where he finds more than just healing—he finds his destiny in the eyes of Astrid, the Weaver of Fate. But the peace of Norhaven is a fragile illusion. As the Christian Crusade strikes, a far more ancient terror emerges from the depths: Ignus, the Fire God, a being of molten rage whose very presence vaporizes the world Erik once knew. Forced into an impossible exodus, Erik and Astrid must gather a fellowship of nine—warriors, thieves, and outcasts—to protect the survivors of a dying nation. From the scorched ruins of their harbor to the treacherous, ash-choked mountains, they must stand as the Fellowship of the Raven, the final line of defense between their people and the elemental void. In a land where the gods themselves have gone mad, Erik must claim a crown he never sought and lead his people through a landscape of nightmares. Between the heat of the fire god's fury and the biting cold of the northern peaks, a new queen is born, and a bloodline is forged that will determine if the North will rise again—or if the ravens will fall silent forever.
