Táto sága skúma stret medzi ľudským svetom a nadprirodzenými bytosťami, kde sú osudy kráľov aj vyvrheľov prepojené. Sledujte hrdinov, ktorí sa búria proti svojmu osudu a bojujú o prežitie vo svete plnom intríg, mágie a prastarej nenávisti. Séria ponúka epické bitvy a komplexné postavy, ktoré sa snažia nájsť svoje miesto vo svete, ktorý ich odmieta. Je to príbeh o konflikte, obeti a hľadaní identity v ríši ohrozenej temnými silami.
Sorne, the son of a mad King, is being raised as a weapon to wield against the mystical Wyrds. His father is planning to lay siege to the home of the T'En, whose wyrd blood is despised. Within the City, Imoshen is trying to hold her people together as the feud between the men of the Brotherhoods and the women of the Sisterhoods is about to explode.
Slowly losing himself to madness, King Charald has passed his verdict on the mystic Wyrds: banishment, by the first day of winter. Their leader, Imoshen, believes she has found a new home for her people, but many are still stranded amidst violence and turmoil. A reward is offered for their safe return, and greedy men turn to abduction...
The mystic Wyrds have been banished by King Charald, whose descent into madness grows ever steeper. Exiled and forced to set sail on the first day of winter, Imoshen's people are packed onto seven crowded ships. Tensions flare under the pressure and the all-fathers and all-mothers are put to the test controlling their hardened warriors.
