A

Now

In

hotheaded
Riv

a
deadly
secret.
In

Sig

an
uprising
and
black
magic.
And
in
the
snowbound
north,
Drem,
a
trapper,
finds
mutilated
corpses
in
the
forests.
The
work
of
a
predator,
or
something
far
darker?
It's
a
time
of
shifting
loyalties
and
world-changing
dangers.
Difficult
choices
need
to
be
made.
Because
in
the
shadows,
demons
are
gathering,
waiting
for
their
time
to
rise...

Recenzii
"The
book
reminded
me
in
the
very
best
way
of
the
sort
of
fantasy
I
loved
in
years
gone
by.
Exciting,
well-written,
swords
and
sorcery.
Try
it
on
for
size."—Mark
