"Exciting, raw and mournful fantasy. This book is full of intrigue, and you can never guess which way the story will go. It has a good drive forward. Plenty of gray scales between good and evil, which I like! I love Mirian! She is one of the best female fantasy characters I've read about. She feels genuine and real, with all her problems and weaknesses. Yet she never stops fighting." - Anna Hallander, Swedish fantasy author. In the north, the town of Norrtmark is threatened by a marching monster horde. Mirian Simonsdatur is plagued by nightmares. Her castle guard can not defend the whole town. It is in the middle of winter, with blizzards preventing an evacuation.  In the Vale, Magnus Birgersson rules with an iron fist. The people look to Erik, his youngest son. They hope that he will lead the uprising against his evil father and mad brother. But years of terror has broken Erik. He is no hero. Meanwhile, in this harsh land of winter, a Witch King has murdered the king with dark magic, eaten his heart. The Witch King has a plan that will lead to a world war if no one stops him. A Winter's War is a translation of my Swedish, epic fantasy novel Vinterkrig. It is a tale set in a land inspired by medieval Scandinavia, with Swedish, Norse and Finish influences, among others. It is the first book in the Seer Chronicles.
