After a decade of enduring hardship, Kael—the Northern Realm’s mightiest God of War—returns home in disguise as a humble hunter, seeking a quiet life following a grave injury. Yet, corrupt lords and borderland bullies dare to lay their venomous hands upon his mother and sister—even harboring the delusion that this "hunter" would kneel and beg for mercy! "You thought I was merely a hunter?" When the lives of his loved ones hang in the balance, Kael casts aside his disguise once and for all. The Runes of the God of War flare to life once more; armed with nothing but his trusty axe, he carves a bloody path from a border tavern straight through to the Lord’s gilded fortress. Tearing apart Frost Giants with his bare hands and clashing head-on with the false gods of Asgard, he not only systematically dismantles his enemies' empires of power but vows to reshuffle the entire Northern Realm under the blazing fury of its Supreme Commander! With overwhelming force and strategic brilliance at every turn, the God of War’s rules become the only rules that govern the Nine Realms!
