In the Viking clan of Styrkagaard, every youth awaits the Gifts Ceremony, when the Divine determines their destiny. Vide always believed he would be a strong fighter like his father, King Jakob. But his dreams are shattered when the Divine gives him Music instead of Strength.
Cast out by King Jakob, Vide’s song sparks rebellion, stirring the hearts of those who had rejected the Music Gift. On the run, he wrestles with shame and doubt, until a hidden prophet reveals why the king fears the Gift of Music most.
Betrayal, battles, and dark magic abound, but Vide discovers that the greatest power is not in steel, but in song. The lyre, and a heart aligned with the Divine, is stronger than the sharpest sword.
