The year is 900 AD and Ragnarök approaches.

Vikings have explored the wastelands of northern Asia and settled on the northern borders of the Korean peninsula, offering both tension and opportunity to a land already blessed with the invention of gunpowder. An unstoppable dragon ravages Captain Yi Chun-Hee’s homeland. To prevent the tides of destruction, she must desert her position as captain of her nation’s greatest battleship.

Captain Yi forms a jagged alliance with Yona Bloodaxe, a Korean Viking by birth who seeks only a noble death against the might of a beast or warrior greater than herself. She must also join her crew with a group of exiled European Crusaders led by the salacious mercenary, Abraham Ledet. A pirate who is known to carry six pistols on his chest and has never met a problem he hasn’t tried to talk his way out of. These unlikely heroes are pushed beyond the limits of their bodies and minds as they face man and creature alike in pursuit of the legendary Nidhogg, the great dragon which threatens to burn the world.

Horangi Fire is a tale of betrayal and bloodshed where morals must be sacrificed in service of hope and no one's life is guaranteed.
