The Winds of the Past

By Anthony Pryor

Jarvin was just a poet and storyteller, estranged from his family, content simply to drink wine and laze in the sun. That was before one of his poems offended a vengeful nobleman, before he was rescued by the barbarian Ragar and his companions -- the grim warrior Michar, the mercenary Veesha and the naive scholar Tevlos -- and before they all set off into the trackless north, on a quest to right ancient wrongs. Now, Jarvin must use his talents to chronicle their journey into darkness, where the wind howls down from frozen mountains and the cold slices as deep as a sword. Here, Ragar seeks to face down his people's ancient enemies -- the ghostly wolf-folk who drove them from their homeland. But Ragar's plans go disastrously wrong, and the companions find themselves lost in a frozen wilderness, under attack by foes both natural and unnatural. Is Jarvin's last tale be the story of his own death?
