Nine men ride into the quiet village of Corwick on a cold March morning. When they leave, the only survivor is Hadrack, an eight-year-old boy left amid the ruins of his family and home. His life shifts in an instant, and he clings to one purpose: avenging his family.
As Hadrack grows, two nations edge toward war, fueled by crimes that echo far beyond Corwick. Torn between two faiths and a mounting conflict, Hadrack struggles to find his place in a world divided. But his vow to make the Nine pay is unshakable—and he knows he won’t be a helpless child forever.
When the time comes, will he sacrifice everything for revenge, or will he find another path?
