The Way of the Giant

A lowly thrall. A powerful Giant. The friendship that will transform them both…and cost one his soul.For years, Essel, the thrall of Hveiti, has secretly begged the goddess Kví for his freedom. One night, his prayer is unexpectedly answered…but his deliverer is no kindly goddess.Uthur is a war-Giant all but sprung from the ancient sagas, whose flaming eyes pierce deep into the minds of Men. He has little love for mortals, least of all for one like Essel. A mysterious god has tasked Uthur with guiding Essel to the hidden mountain-kingdom of Ardor, which no living Man has ever before entered. Frightened by his guide, Essel nevertheless agrees to travel his perilous Way, spurred by an impossible hope—that he, a thrall from birth, might win his freedom.But there are those who would do anything to stop Essel from reaching Ardor. Eight winters ago, a host of demons invaded Essel’s body and ravaged his mind, all to keep one memory eclipsed forever, in a darkness beyond even Uthur’s sight…a memory that could break an age-old curse and change the fate of a doomed race:A memory that will surely come to light, should Essel reach his journey’s end.
