Among Hakon's people, strength is everything — weakness means death. When he finally completes the Rite, he expects at least a modest Ancient Power. Instead he awakens something his tribe scorns: a Power of the Mind called Enhanced Comprehension. To those who value brute force, Hakon is nothing. But he sees what they cannot — patterns, weaknesses, possibilities. As tribes stir and ancient grudges reignite, whispers spread of a prophesied Warlord born from the blood of his enemies. Hakon decides to become that man, claim his father's seat as chieftain, and unite the tribes — but first he must survive long enough to master his Power.
