Follow Shepherd Varland, a soldier betrayed by his own and left for dead in a world teetering on the brink of war. Against all odds, he survives, driven by a relentless desire for vengeance and a burning ambition to rebuild himself stronger than ever. As Shepherd navigates a labyrinth of treacherous politics, battles dangerous enemies, and confronts the haunting shadows of his past, fate tempts him with an unexpected gift—a chance at love. But in a land where power demands sacrifice, the price for everything he seeks may be more than he’s willing to pay.
