THE STORM OF BROKEN KINGS (Saga of the Black-Raven King Book 2)

In the frozen reaches of Norskheimr, where winter never sleeps and monsters walk the snow like the land’s true heirs, the young warrior Modi Hrafnsbarn rises from the ashes of a slaughtered people.When the Ice Queen destroys the Leifrson clan and leaves their village in ruin, Modi—once a boy with nothing but his father’s teachings—becomes a survivor forged by frost, hunger, and the wild. Alone except for Roargar, the black raven who speaks in riddles and warnings, Modi learns to hunt, to carve, to kill, and to tattoo his triumphs on his own flesh.Years later, when word spreads that the Jarls’s lost son still lives, the Ice Queen sends her berserker hunters to finish what she began. She fails.Modi strikes back.Freeing slaves, gathering exiles, storming frozen outposts and raider camps, he forms the beginnings of a fleet that sails under the dreaded raven-mark. His legend grows in the dark places of the North—the boy who lived, the raider without a hall, the ice-killer with no fear of gods or monsters.But as Modi rises, a deeper enemy stirs.Beneath Hjallarok’s ancient glacier lies the bound body of Jötunskarn, the World-Serpent of the First Age. Its Herald, the frost-witch Heraldr Vetrar, seeks to wake the sleeping god and scour the North clean of mankind.Modi’s defiance drags him into the depths of the ice—where he battles the Herald, awakens the legendary Hollow Kings, and wounds the sleeping serpent itself.This act shifts the fate of the world.Now the North whispers his name.The Herald bleeds for the first time in centuries.And the serpent… remembers him.War brews in the snowfields as Frosthavn braces for an onslaught unlike any in living memory. Modi’s fleet expands, his strength grows, and his raven sails become symbols of both hope and terror. Read more
