The Chronicle Of The Cello Vol 1: Tale Of Whitestone by Kuze Onameni

Out here, status means absolutely nothing. Strength does. And the Hojlund heir stands like a towering giant among men.

To the remote borders of the Tati dynasty, seventeen-year-old Magnus is known simply as "The Cello." He isn't a bad youth, but he holds a grudge like none other—and when his heavy wooden club strikes his targets, bones ring out with a low, hollow thud that sounds like a dying chord.

When the arrogant scholar's son, Mason Rasmus, violates tribal law by plotting a treasonous coup against the village chief, Magnus brutally dunks him into the icy black depths of the lake to force absolute submission. Magnus believes the petty squabble is settled.

He is dead wrong.

In the shadows of the deep, untamed woods, a ruthless assassin from the rival House of Krakenfelt strikes in a blood-soaked ambush. Misidentifying the victim under a false guise, the killer severs Mason's head and brings the gruesome trophy straight to his sadistic chieftain's throne—convinced they have successfully murdered the Hojlund heir.

As the unforgiving Krakenfelt domain prepares to bring the rotting remains to Chief Hogomus's doorstep, an explosive, uncontrollable tribal war ignites across the parched northern plains. Armed with nothing but an ancestral club, a hyper-protective mother, and a burning thirst for vengeance, Magnus must unleash absolute primal savagery to defend his bloodline from total erasure.
