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.
