In a village deep in the eternal winter of the north, a child is born – only to be rejected by its village community shortly afterwards because it is possessed by a strange spirit. Only the mysterious winter witches of Irrisen, a land trapped in permanent magical winter, take care of him. Further south, in cosmopolitan Korvosa, a young cartographer with a penchant for forgery discovers that his near-lover has disappeared, abducted by strange ice magic.
This is the story of Ellasif, a barbarian shieldmaiden who will do anything to find her missing sister, and Declan, a young former mage – now cartographer – who wants to prove himself to the woman he loves. Together they face monsters, magic and the wrath of Ellasif’s own cold-hearted warriors in their quest to save their loved ones. But will it be too late to save the two women from the forces of darkness when they finally reach the ice-walled city of White Throne – where trolls hold court and wolves roam the streets instead of humans?
A new fantastical adventure from New York Times bestselling author Elaine Cunningham in the award-winning world of the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game.
