Yohan, a woodsman caught between worlds—neither fully savage nor entirely civilized—discovers himself ensnared in an ancient web of ritual violence, murder, and shadowed conspiracies. Set in the mountain reaches near the Caspian Sea during the late Bronze Age's twilight, his unwilling journey spans epochs of profound upheaval. Some regard him as barbarian, others as ranger or kingsman, yet none anticipate the hidden knowledge dwelling beneath his rough exterior. As political machinations and forgotten gods converge, Yohan finds himself at destiny's crossroads, wielding the power to resurrect a fallen kingdom or surrender it to the gathering darkness.
