Snow-Walker Trilogy

From icy realms beyond the edge of the world came the Snow-Walker Gudrun, her sorcery bringing tyranny and fear to the Jarl's people. All hope of restoring the true Jarl to his throne seems lost. In the first part of a trilogy of enchantment, a terrifying journey into exile takes Jessa to the ruined fortress of Thrasirshall. Inside, say the rumours, is a dark menace kept hidden from the world, the Snow-Walker's own son.

From frost and magic, the sorceress Gudrun conjures a rune beast and sends it from the land of the Snow-Walkers southwards, towards the stronghold of the new Jarl , Wulfgar. The approach of the beast spreads fear amongst the people. Jessa, Skapti the poet, and a slave named Harkon Empty Hand must help the Jarl confront this horror whilst around them mistrust and conspiracy grow. In some hidden way, these dark events are linked with Gudrun's mysterious son Kari, whose own talents as sorcerer are beginning to reach their terrifying potential.
