His father's throne. His father's enemies. His father's ghost. Ten-year-old Haldrek has spent his whole life preparing for the day his father comes home. Raised by dragons and loyal servants in the thegn-seat of Andrattür, he has trained, studied, and grown - ready to prove himself worthy of the father he has never truly known. Then his father returns. In a casket. Before Haldrek can grieve, his half-uncle arrives to claim the title of Thegn of Andrattür - a title that belongs to Haldrek by blood and by right.
Suddenly the boy who was raised to rule is fighting simply to survive, navigating a court full of shifting loyalties, hidden daggers, and adults who see a ten-year-old and think: easy. They've never met a boy raised by dragons. The story of how Haldrek Rodreksson became the man Lohikärra needed - before Ina Svanunge ever arrived to change everything. Perfect for fans of Hamlet, How to Train Your Dragon, and Norse fantasy.
