One rider’s journey will save his tribe or end it forever.
Andrij has guarded the cold slopes of Perun’s Crown for years. Though he longs for home, his service pays for his father’s debts to the Astiwie king. He just needs his chance to earn his freedom.
When the horsemen of the east come with tidings of war, he sees exactly that.
Facing his tribe’s destruction, the king commands Andrij to ride for his western allies. If Andrij succeeds, his debts will be forgiven. If he fails, his tribe will surely fall.
Set in the days before A Dagger in the Winds, enter The Frostmarked Chronicles’ world of Slavic mythology with the journey that begins it all.
Note: This novella can be read before The Frostmarked Chronicles or at any point during it.
Book 1
A rejected son with a hidden power.
A forgotten sorceress with the blessing of a goddess.
Forced apart for years, only together can they end winter's reign.
Waclaw has always dreamed of a purpose. Except he's never actually dreamed. Each night, his soul leaves his body and wanders the world, free from the scorn of his father and mocking of his tribe. If only he understood why.
The entire village fears Otylia, but she prefers it that way. She's a szeptucha, a whispering channeler of her goddesses. Everyone's abandoned her-even Waclaw, her once best friend-but her goddesses never would.
Marzanna, goddess of winter, has stolen everything from Otylia. The goddess's death in spring is Otylia's annual retribution. But when Otylia discovers Waclaw bearing Marzanna's Frostmark on what should be the last day of winter, she realizes the dark truth.
Spring will not come, and only Waclaw can help her find out why.
On the journey that follows, Waclaw and Otylia must face menacing demons, cursed forests, and even death itself. If they have any hope of surviving, first they must rekindle the connection they have lost.
Enter a new world rooted in Slavic mythology and folklore that's full of powerful gods, terrifying spirits and creatures, rampaging warlords, and plenty of secrets to uncover.
Book 2
Salvation does not come without sacrifice.
Rise. Otylia will never forget the betrayer's blade slicing across her throat. Nor will she forgive.
Trapped by Weles in the underworld of Nawia, she is further from Waclaw and Dziewanna than ever. The Trials of Ascension are Otylia's only hope to escape her father's grasp, but is she ready to pay the price of immortality?
Fall. Waclaw would do anything to get Otylia back. But no demon has ever entered Nawia's paradise.
Marching west with the nomadic clans, Waclaw senses the darkness inside him growing with his power. As Marzanna threatens his hopes of saving both Otylia and his tribe, will he surrender to the demon's call or resist as the world he knows burns before him?
Immerse yourself in Slavic mythological realms both new and old as The Frostmarked Chronicles continue in the dramatic sequel to A Dagger in the Winds.
