Brandr has spent his entire life in a hidden valley few believe exists and fewer still have ever escaped. When a flood threatens to destroy his homeland, he is forced into a world of ancient kingdoms, immortal powers, and secrets buried beneath generations of lies. The gods are not what they claim to be. History has been rewritten. Even humanity's origin is a lie. As war looms across the world, Brandr uncovers a truth that powerful beings have fought to keep hidden for centuries. And the deeper he digs, the more he realizes that the flood was never the real mystery. It was only the beginning. Some journeys seek power. His seeks the truth.
