Aeden has dreamed of adventure all his life. When he and his friends have that adventure thrust upon them upon their Nameday, he discovers that the quiet life is something to be appreciated, but now he will never have it again. Passing from one peril unto the next Aeden and his friends are drawn into a war of men and gods.

With Aeden vanished and Faolan waging a war in the south of Gaul, Fianna is sent on a mission to the Noregr to find aide in their fight against the Sorginak and their allies. As the war heats up after three years of a near stalemate, Aeden reappears to lead the armies of the Gaels, while Fianna's adventures bring her face to face with challenges unlike anything she had ever faced before.
