About the Book: Black Dow has fought his way to the throne of the North, leaving a trail of blood and skulls behind him. Now the King of the Union refuses to let him grow more powerful, sending armies north to confront him. Thousands of soldiers converge on a forgotten hill for a battle that will determine the fate of the North. Over three brutal days, warfare, political intrigue, personal feuds and bitter rivalries shape the outcome. In this gripping grimdark fantasy, victory will belong not necessarily to the strongest or noblest, but to those most willing to exploit weakness, ambition and betrayal.
