BOOK ONE: WINTER MAGE
Winter is here.
And in a world choked by ice and snow, a peninsula is all that remains to the clans who seek to rule this narrow strip of land while battling a relentless, flesh-hungry foe that swarms against them.
Prince Linnard Skylark is destined to rule Sky Clan, yet his path to the throne is not clear, and he must face treachery and turmoil before he can take his rightful place. Protected and harbouring a secret that might spell the end for his clan, he must grow to manhood and stand against an evil that threatens to overwhelm them all.
Divided, the clans will fall, and a greater darkness will rise.
