Ice Forged
The start of a brand-new series by one of the most popular new fantasy writers of recent years.
Condemned as a murderer for killing the man who dishonored his sister,
Blaine "Mick" McFadden has spent the last six years in Velant, a penal
colony in the frigid northern wastelands of Edgeland. Harsh military
discipline and the oppressive magic of the governor's mages keep a
fragile peace as colonists struggle against a hostile environment. But
the supply ships from Dondareth have stopped coming, boding ill for the
kingdom that banished the colonists.
Now, McFadden and the
people of Velant decide their fate. They can remain in their icy prison, removed from the devastation of the outside world, but facing a
subsistence-level existence, or they can return to the ruins of the
kingdom that they once called home. Either way, destruction lies
ahead...
