In the frozen wilderness of the North, where honor and strength are the measure of a man, Bjorn, once a celebrated warrior, now wanders in disgrace. Exiled for failing in battle, he carries the weight of his shame like a shroud, haunted by the loss of his comrades and his name. But fate is not done with Bjorn.

In a forgotten cave beneath the icy peaks, he discovers Ormtunga—the legendary sword known as the Serpent's Tongue, said to grant its wielder unmatched power. With the blade in hand, Bjorn sees a chance to reclaim his lost honor. Yet the sword carries a darker legacy, one that whispers in the shadows of his mind, urging him toward blood and destruction.

As Bjorn's victories mount, so too does the sword's grip on his soul. He soon learns that Ormtunga is no weapon of salvation—it is a curse. To free himself from its sinister power, Bjorn must embark on a final, perilous journey to destroy the sword before it consumes him entirely.
