Just because it's broken doesn't mean it can't be mended. Be grateful for the monsters, little girl. It's the monsters that keep the demons away.

In the Norse-inspired kingdom of Frostheim, Ivar has witnessed the worst the world has to offer—violence, greed, and betrayal. With his family's honor destroyed at the hands of those he once loved and his newborn sister's life hanging by a thread, he is consumed by a ruthless determination to keep her safe, even if it costs him his life. But as his journey pulls him into a web of bloody vengeance and buried secrets, he risks losing not just the fragile peace he clings to, but the humanity he's fighting to protect.

Across the sea, Baldwin, a Berserkr bounty hunter with no memory of his past, finds himself in the war-threatened kingdom of Tybalta and is tasked by the King to stop an impending enemy invasion. Baldwin's mission takes a sinister turn when he discovers a chilling truth—the enemy wages war on the vulnerable, trafficking children to further their agenda. As he delves deeper into the heinous atrocities perpetrated against children, Baldwin must confront his own fractured morality, torn between the need to stop the invaders and the sacrifices he must make to save the innocent.

In two powerful stories of vengeance, loss, magic, and redemption, Ivar and Baldwin stand against ascendant evil, each forced to confront the darkness where demons wear human faces.
