The Coldmaker Saga
3 primary works
Book 1
A warmly-written crossover fantasy adventure from Daniel A. Cohen
Eight hundred years ago, the Jadans angered the Crier. In punishment, the Crier took their Cold away, condemning them to a life of enslavement in a world bathed in heat.
Or so the tale goes.
During the day, as the Sun blazes over his head, Micah leads the life of any Jadan slave, running errands through the city of Paphos at the mercy of the petty Nobles and ruthless taskmasters.
But after the evening bells have tolled and all other Jadans sleep, Micah escapes into the night in search of scraps and broken objects, which once back inside his barracks he tinkers into treasures.
However, when a mysterious masked Jadan publicly threatens Noble authority, a wave of rebellion ripples through the city.
With Paphos plunged into turmoil, Micah’s secret is at risk of being exposed. And another, which has been waiting hundreds of years to be found, is also on the verge of discovery…
The secret of Cold.
Book 2
Book two of the Coldmaker Saga – return to a world of endless heat in the sequel to Coldmaker.
The Great Drought began eight hundred years ago when the sins of the Jadans angered the Crier, who ripped their Cold away.
Most of the land died. The Khat became nobles. Jadans all became slaves and their warriors disappeared.
Until now.
Under the burning sun Micah escapes the city he has always called home. His father dead, his mentor slain, his workshop burned to the ground, all he has left are his two closest friends: fellow runaway slave, the fierce Shilah and Cam, the last good noble. They are hunted by the oppressors they dared to challenge.
For though they are alone, they are not empty handed. Micah wields a machine that will alter their fiery land forever: an invention of his own making that can create Cold. In a world where rivers boil in their beds and the sky glows red, this changes everything.
They must take an ancient, secret path north to the Jadan promised land – to stay ahead of their enemies and to keep their secret safe.
But freedom can be costly and unpredictable: once ignited, it spreads like fire.
Or Ice.
