Past and present meet upon snowy plains. Will the future be equally dark?

Brandr Tofte survived a tyrant. A rebellion. A regime change. He's looking forward to a life of quiet cooking and a lovely marriage, but his work is not yet done. When he's sent on a diplomatic mission to win the alliance of the Oslands, he accepts—with some familiar faces at his side. 

To secure a permanent alliance for the newly formed Nilia, he must first walk the dark hallways of his own memories, revisiting a city he hasn't traversed in twenty years. Brandr may have come to the Oslands to seek joy, but twenty year old wounds hurt no less than fresh cuts. The only question is if he may push back the tide and accomplish his mission unscathed.
