ABOUT THE BOOK

Sixteen-year-old Melanos was never meant to die.

Yet in one breath, his old life ends, and in the next he awakens in a harsh, myth-scarred land of gods, steel, and forgotten fires. Reborn in a Viking-forged realm and claimed by a mysterious blacksmith god, Melanos is given a second chance and a dangerous gift: the power to shape destiny itself through flame and forge.

Taken in by an elder of the rugged city of Ravensholm, Melanos begins to uncover secrets buried beneath stone and legend. With every hammer strike, his strength grows, and so does the pull of a world that desperately needs a new kind of hero.

At his side stand unlikely allies:
a steadfast cow spirit bound by ancient vows,
a disciplined elven princess torn between duty and desire,
a shadow-veiled dark elf with a haunted past,
a wandering dwarf who knows the cost of war,
a fierce town guard sworn to protect the innocent,
and a healer whose own secrets may change everything.

But while Melanos learns to forge weapons and bonds, something far older stirs in the frozen wastes.

Ymir, the primordial ice giant, has awakened.

If he rises, the world will fall into endless winter, and even gods will burn.

To save this new world, Melanos must become more than a craftsman.

He must become the forge itself.
