Winter Warriors
Winged demons gather, silent and unseen, above the city of Usa, their
talons long and sharp. Their purpose is clear, as is the prophesy: Upon
the deaths of the three kings, the demon riders of the Krayakin will
become flesh, free to slake their thirst with human blood - and the
stench of evil will cover the land.
Two of the kings are already dead. For the prophesy to be fulfilled,
spreading carnage across the world, the demon lord must sacrifice the
third king: Queen Axiana's unborn child.
When Emperor Skanda disbands his army, the pregnant queen takes flight,
pursued by the Lords of the Undead. All hope lies with three ancient
heroes. Though discarded by the emperor, they are still Drenai soldiers: Bison the giant, Kebra the Bowman, and the great swordsman Nogusta -
the demon lord's greatest foe. But will these warriors - once the best
in the land - be enough to stem the tide of gruesome horror that
threatens to envelop the world?
