Dark of Winter

The people of Sumner are odd. Their village, far to the north where the weather is worst, is lost to a world of snow and ice and freezing death. No one trusts Sumner. No one goes there...until now.

King Fialsun's soldiers are battle weary. They have spent years carving an empire that starts from the south and rises up like an inexorable branch, twisting east and west and now to new territories in the north. Despite growing dissent, Fialsun's power remains absolute and his might infinite. But one village remains outside from his sovereignty: Sumner. Fialsun sends one hundred of his soldier veterans to find and to decimate the village. To bring an end to its stigma and to quash the dreaded infamy of its most lethal warrior: Threecuts.

But strange events have been unfolding in Sumner. A girl has gone missing and warriors deem they have captured a creature from mythology. All the evidence leads to the conclusion that an ancient evil is coming. In one night the fate of Sumner will be decided. If the King's soldiers do not reach them first, then the creatures of the Dark of Winter will.

Gory battles, a tense plot with a thrilling conclusion, and a ribbon of weirdness running throughout make Dark of Winter a highly satisfying read. Readers' Favorite
