Betrayed by his fellow nobleman, Harolde Dugald, during the battle, Geoffrey finds himself at the mercy of The Barbarian after surviving the clash. Together, they embark on a journey to reclaim Geoffrey's rightful lands while navigating the treacherous landscape filled with violence and shifting allegiances.
