Book One Summary – The ForgingIn a kingdom broken by war and ruled by a ruthless king, a child is forced to survive what should have killed him.
Skye Campbell is the son of a noble father and a common-born mother—bound by love stronger than bloodlines. When King Rigard’s wars tear through their lands, Skye loses everything in a single his home, his parents, and the world he was meant to inherit. Left to die, he flees into the wilds with nothing but a dagger and memories soaked in blood.
The forest becomes his first teacher. Hunger, cold, and fear shape him long before steel ever does. By instinct and desperation, Skye learns to hunt, endure, and survive—carrying grief heavier than any blade. Months later, he is found by men who once served the very kingdom that betrayed his family. One of them, Halric, bears a Skye’s father spared his life on the battlefield, choosing mercy over victory.
Taken into a hidden settlement of exiles, widows, and broken soldiers, Skye is trained not just to fight, but to endure. Under the guidance of Halric and Rowan, he learns the discipline of the sword, the patience of the bow, and the deadly grace of the dagger. Yet war has not forgotten his name.
When enemies arrive at the gates, Skye is forced to step forward—not as a boy seeking revenge, but as a leader shaped by loss. Blood is spilled. Lines are crossed. And the Campbell name, thought long buried, is raised once more.
The Forging is a dark, character-driven medieval fantasy about survival, grief, and the cost of becoming what the world demands. It is the beginning of a journey that will test whether vengeance can be tempered—or if it must burn everything in its path.
