Schoarra might be called the Lighthouse of the North, but for an orphan like Vlad, it is nothing more than a pit of filth and blood. Living under the boot of five ruthless crime bosses, Vlad’s only goal was to survive the day, until a disgraced knight turned his life into a literal inferno. Left with nothing but the ashes of the brothel he called home, Vlad realizes that in this world, those without power are destined to be crushed. He refuses to be a victim any longer. Pledging himself to the path of the blade and guided by a sentient sword that whispers the secrets of the stars, he claws his way out of the gutter and into the service of the formidable House Vayezid. This is no longer just about survival; it is a brutal ascent toward a greatness that the world never intended for him to have. He will master the steel, or he will break under the weight of his own ambition.
