“I will become the strongest knight…!” In the frigid border city of Nordhav, fifteen year old Soren dreams of knighthood, though he has no noble name, no sponsor, and nothing to his name but frostbitten fingers and a stolen coat. When a shard of metal falls from the stars and whispers to him in the night, everything changes. The voice inside the sword is ancient, weary, and bound to a forgotten oath. Her name is Valenna. Once a knight of terrifying power, now reduced to a fragment clinging to memory and steel. Through her, Soren gains more than skill, he inherits secrets buried by kings, and a purpose he never asked for. But power in Nordhav has a cost. The training grounds are brutal. The nobles cruel. The city’s lawkeepers are hunting forbidden relics, and Soren is already being watched. As he fights to stay alive, rise in rank, and master the sword’s techniques, he begins to question if he’s the one that’s wielding the sword, or if the sword is the one wielding him. As the world outside stirs with war and prophecy, Soren must choose who he becomes, before someone else decides for him.
