The greatest crafts on Midgard come from the dvergar realm of Nidavellir. Volund, a gifted smith and once apprentice to the dvergar, escaped their dark realm to find solace in the arms of a valkyrie.
Nine years of respite. And then she was gone.
What would you do to reclaim your light?
But Volund's reputation precedes him, and a cruel king knows the weapons Volund forges can win his wars. Imprisoned in the king's forge, Volund's only hope to escape is to find his wife. If he can't, more than the forge's darkness will overtake him.
Where will he turn when the light finally fades?
