Outside, a host of savages has laid siege. Inside, it’s every man against himself.

Langden Hawke’s bloody history has led him into some pretty tight scrapes, but none tighter than Fort Valiant. When the mercenary captain sells his sword to the fort’s desperate defenders, Langden believes he’s finally found an escape from his violent profession — if he can stay alive long enough to cash in the contract. Hopelessly outnumbered, it doesn’t take Langden long to realize it isn’t only the hordes of wildmen that have trapped him…it’s the demons from his past as well.
