A forgotten sword has awakened.
For years, a young farmer has known only hard work, family duty, and the quiet fear of a kingdom tightening under a ruthless king’s rule. But when a night attack drives him into an ancient hidden shrine, he discovers a weapon no ordinary hand was meant to hold.
The sword saves his life. Then it makes him a target.
Hunted by soldiers, stalked by creatures from the forbidden forest, and drawn into a secret rebellion, he must leave behind the family he loves and enter a world of magicians, lost races, ancient enemies, and powers he does not understand. The king wants the sword. The rebels need it. Something darker is watching from the shadows, waiting for him to grow strong enough to be worth killing.
To survive, the farmer’s son must become more than a fugitive.
He must become the weapon the kingdom fears.
