Leno of Ennox was ten years old when slavers burned his home and stole his life. They took his sword. They took his people. They dragged him fifty-three days south, beyond every map he’d ever seen, to the frozen empire of Hekhenden—where slaves are sold like meat and a child’s future is decided by a coin toss. No one wanted a skinny boy. So Leno lied. He claimed he was a blacksmith.

Trapped in a foreign city of ice and cruelty, Leno finds the one thing the slavers didn’t take from him: a strange book from a dead blacksmith’s shop—an inheritance that will change steel, fate, and the road ahead. Because Leno won’t stay a slave forever. And the blacksmith who wanders doesn’t just forge weapons. He forges a way out
