In the Viking clan of Styrkagaard, every youth awaits the moment the Divine bestows a Gift upon them to determine their role in society. Vide Jakobsson has always believed he would be a strong fighter like his father, King Jakob. But his dreams are shattered when he receives the Gift of Music instead of the Gift of Strength.

​

King Jakob casts Vide out of Styrkagaard, causing a shift in allegiances. Those who had sided with King Jakob hear Vide's melody and discover the beauty of the Music Gift. While on the run, Vide meets Sam, a prophet living in hiding as a humble farmer. Sam shows Vide how to use his Gift and reveals the truth of why King Jakob rejects, and even fears, the Divine Gift of Music. In the midst of betrayal, battles, and dark magic, Vide discovers that the lyre, and a heart aligned with the Divine, is stronger than the sharpest sword.
