The King of the Union, ever a jealous neighbour, is not about to stand smiling by while he claws his way any higher. The orders have been given and the armies are toiling through the northern mud.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThousands of men are converging on a forgotten ring of stones, on a worthless hill, in an unimportant valley, and they've brought a lot of sharpened metal with them.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBremer dan Gorst, disgraced master swordsman, has sworn to reclaim his stolen honour on the battlefield.

He hardly even cares who wins any more, he just wants to do the right thing. But can he even tell what that is with the world burning down around him?\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOver three bloody days of battle, the fate of the North will be decided.
