In Oakhaven, a single crack in your glass means the end of your life. Every citizen carries their soul in their hands, a small flame left in a lantern that beats with the rhythm of their heart. Eira’s light burns with a soft, lemon-yellow glow, marking her as someone safe and perfectly obedient to the village's expectations. Beyond the village borders, the Great River thrashes against jagged stones, a violent torrent that remains liquid even in the deepest frost. The locals view the water as a place where there is no light, a place where the lightless are forgotten. Eira finds herself drawn to the spray and the roar, convinced the current holds the truth about why her father's flame was snuffed out. The village fears the river, but they loathe Soren even more. He moves through the streets like a shadow, his presence chilling the air around him. The elders claim his fire turned black from an evil heart, warning others away from him. While the other children display lanterns of vibrant scarlet and gold, Soren’s glass holds a dark, violet light that shivers with every step. Eira watches the strange, cold glow and sees a different story. His fire struggles to burn because the world has spent years trying to kill it, leaving him to guard the embers of a past that Oakhaven would rather bury.

In the year 1000 AD, the freezing mud of Viking-Age Norway is no place for a modern university student. It is a place to die. Bilal wakes up in the past with no sword, no army, and no idea how he got there. But he possesses two things the Norsemen have never seen: A towering, 105kg modern bodybuilder's physique, and a 21st-century mind. With his dark skin and massive frame, the superstitious raiders don't see a lost time-traveler. They see a myth. A Fire Giant. A Demon from the South. Bilal's only goal is to keep his head down and survive. But the Dark Ages are cruel. When he finds a starving seven-year-old orphan girl left to freeze in the snow, his modern morals shatter his plans for a quiet life. To keep her safe, a campfire isn't enough. He needs an Empire. Armed with the lost secrets of engineering, biology, and mathematics, Bilal begins to break the 11th century. He doesn't conquer with an axe; he conquers with infrastructure. He will cure their incurable diseases. He will forge steel they cannot break. He will build a utopian city of warm stone in a world of rotting wood. But bringing the light of the future into the darkest of ages attracts monsters. Fanatical Kings, greedy Jarls, and terrified empires will soon unite to burn his "magic" city to the ground. They expect to crush a peaceful scholar. They are about to meet the Giant of Axiomra.
