Winter's Reach
Pope Benignus is dying,
and the man who takes his throne will hold the reins of an empire.
Conspiracies swirl like shadows around Livia, the pope's daughter, who
refuses to be anyone's pawn: chasing the whispers of a deadly coup, she
vows to expose the truth and save her church from disaster. Livia has
secrets of her own, though, and one wrong move could cost her life and
her soul.
Felix is the scion of a dying merchant house, a man
with just one chance to save his family and the woman he loves. His last hope lies in the snowbound hell of Winter's Reach, a former prison
colony turned "free city" under a brutal tyrant's reign.
Livia
and Felix have never crossed paths, but they've both been snared in a
far greater web than they can imagine. They - along with a pair of
veteran bounty hunters, an exiled politician, and a sadistic coven of
witches - are cogs in one man's apocalyptic plan for revenge. A plan
which, if it succeeds, will leave an entire nation in flames.
