“If Lord of the Rings and Game of Thrones got together, The Daughter of The Ice would be the result.”

In a harsh land where winter makes men bend and steel makes them kneel, a group of female mercenaries may be all that stands between order and chaos.
Burly fighter Erika and lithe shadow-stalker Annah have spent their whole lives avenging those the law forgot. Now, their mysterious patron calls on them to foil a plot against the very rulers that have mistreated and oppressed them.
Their skills will be put to the test as they battle their way to the top of a conspiracy that threatens to shake the pillars of their homeland.
But the men they face are just the tip of something much more sinister, and their deaths will prove meaningless if they take their secrets to the grave. The closer Erika and Annah get to their prey, the more they realize it is not a cadre of plotting old lords they face.
Some are master killers themselves…

In a world where magic is all but forgotten, one novice necromancer will discover the true cost of power.
Pursued by an undead monstrosity after discovering his former masters plotted to take his life, necromancer-in-training Gotthilf finds refuge in an old cave, but at a terrible cost. Stripped of his supplies and on the brink of defeat, Gotthilf stumbles upon a shocking discovery—two ancient warrior sisters, trapped in a curse of eternal torment.
With their help, he must not only overcome the relentless pursuit of the undead abomination but also unravel the dark secrets of a devil who has the power to trap even the bravest of souls into an eternal nightmare with naught but a look.
Will Gotthilf be able to outsmart the devil and break the curse, or will he, too, be doomed to an eternity of suffering?
“Excellent story-telling that, although short, allows good character development and plenty of action.”
— Kevin Cannon, Monty’s Book Reviews

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
My name is Luis, and I’m the black sheep of the family.
Born the scion of a household of magistrates and physicians, I was groomed from a young age to meet those expectations. I threw the chain of office away and became a bard instead.
I’ve since traveled the breadth of my homeland, picking up tales here and there. I’ve dined with aldermen and drank firewater with vagabonds; I’ve sung moonlit serenades to hussies and taken the daughters of wealthy merchants to grand balls. I’ve joined secret orders, learning their lore and passphrases; I’ve locked arms with tree-huggers and danced with them under the full moon.
But two things sing to my soul like nothing else. One, the roll of the dice, be it on the wood of the tabletop or within the shards of magical glass that are everywhere in our society. Two, the tales of daring, of heroism and valor, of wickedness and deceit, to be found among the dusty tomes of the world’s libraries.
To contribute to those, I have made my life’s work.
Stay a while, and listen…
