This story is about finding love and surviving in troubled ancient times... together with your kin.

Life has never been kind to you—because in a Germanic tribe, life is neither fair, nor guaranteed.

It wasn't kind to your mother when she died in childbirth, giving you a sibling in her stead.

It isn't kind to your father, whose life seems to be just as doomed as the marriage he arranged for you.

And now, it isn't kind to you as you're shepherded into battle against the Romans simply for the right to live freely.

When a group of traveling merchants arrive in your settlement during a three-year long campaign led by the Roman commander Germanicus, the adoptive son of Emperor Tiberius, it seems life is turning kind. But is it wishful thinking? Or are there omens you are attempting to turn a blind eye to?

As the newly anointed chieftain of your tribe, you must lead you people well, protect them, and continue the Germanic legacy. How will you persevere in this unkind life, chieftain?
