A young barbarian warrior wins glory in the civilized kingdom of Minnea—only to be dragged into a web of murder, sorcery, and political betrayal. Framed, hunted, and haunted by a ruthless wizard’s schemes, Tarod must fight for survival as he’s pushed from champion… to puppet… to fugitive.
Four brutal, fast-paced chronicles trace Tarod’s rise, fall, and rebirth—through royal intrigue, cursed cities, deadly courts, and the shadow of a relentless bounty hunter.
Before he becomes the Nine-Fingered, before the legends, before the wars—this is the beginning of Tarod’s saga.
