A Ring to Rule Them All

"A Ring to Rule Them All" tells the story of how the legendary swordsman Brodar Kayne escaped the clutches of his immortal master, the Shaman. The first, thrilling short story set in the world of the Grim Company also acts as a prequel to the award-nominated series. A week inside a wicker cage will break a regular man. A month will push the bravest to the very edges of their sanity. For Brodar Kayne, it has been almost a year since he was forced inside the fiendish prison. His crime? To defy his master's command to massacre a town and people he once loved. Even a year trapped in a cage could not break the spirit of the legendary Sword of the North. But having just watched his wife burned alive on a pyre, death would now be a merciful release. However, Kayne's most loyal friend has other ideas. The Wolf is as grim and implacable as death itself. And he never forgets a promise.
