The life of potions and ingredients at the University was a world away from the harsh terrain of Skyrim. With fate ushered in by a prophecy as ancient as the Elder Scrolls, a hero must answer his calling. But when a rebellion, betrayal, and Civil War disrupt Skyrim, such prophecies are better handled with company- even if this unlikely bunch has no idea what they are in for.

Nearly six years after Snowpoint, Aldric is recruited by a young explorer to lead a rag-tag team into Blackreach. Deep underground, he encounters danger, death, and a face he'd never thought he'd see again. Will his life become more broken than it already is, or will he start a new one? [Book 2 of Bounty trilogy]
