The Jarl's raiding party was due to return weeks ago.

Now, with winter closing in and whispers of a resurgent enemy reaching their Northern stronghold, the son who was left behind has a decision to make. Will Bjorn venture into the unknown to rescue his father? Or will he continue to wallow in the shame of past defeats...

That decision is made harder when a messenger washes up on shore.

The Jarl and his warriors are alive, but their raid has taken a lethal turn. Seemingly taken by their lust for gold, adventure, or perhaps something darker, the veteran warriors headed west.

No one can guess what called them to the lands where even the most bloodthirsty of the uncivilized tribes struggles to eke out an existence. But the messenger is adamant. Rather than return home, Bjorn's father had pushed into territory that had been forsaken since the Decimation had almost scoured humanity from the world.

Taking the remaining warriors with him, Bjorn sets out into the unknown in search of a father that may be far past saving.
