Beschreibung
Two kingdoms. One forgotten bond. A prince who must decide who he truly is.
In an alternate medieval Earth where Vikings still sail and the world is thought to be flat, Prince Kristofer of Vlaanderen has always been the quiet one. The youngest son of King Coneraad III, Kit lives in the comfortable shadow of his siblings: a sister determined to join a convent and a crown prince brother built for the throne. Content with his tutors, his books, and the safety of the castle at Lehj, Kit has never had reason to question the life laid out for him.
Then a longship from the kingdom of Stavan appears in the harbor, shattering a silence of one hundred and fifty years. The Stavanians are distant blood, descendants of a shared ancestor, and they carry a letter that will upend the careful diplomacy of the Low Countries court. As political intrigue tightens its grip and ancient alliances are tested, Kit finds himself drawn into a world far beyond his studies. Amid clashing loyalties, religious tension, and the mythology of the frozen north, he begins to confront questions about identity and purpose that no amount of scholarship can answer.
To Cast an Iron Arrow is the sweeping first volume of the Skálds of Skandar, a tale of forbidden bonds, political machination, and one young prince's journey toward becoming who he was always meant to be.
