    About this series

    Still reeling from plague and civil war, the Winter Kingdoms face an invasion
    force from across the Northern Sea led by a dark spirit mage in the name
    of ancient, vanquished gods. Summoner-King Martris Drayke and an
    untested generation of new rulers must stand against an unholy alliance
    of shadowy invaders. To prevail, Tris must win the uncertain support of
    the Dread, spirit-beings that stand guard within the sacred barrows over
    an even more fearsome threat imprisoned within. In the balance lies not
    only the freedom of the Winter Kingdoms but Tris's life and the soul of
    his young son, whose untested magic might be the biggest spoil of war.

      As plague and famine scourge the Winter Kingdoms, a vast invasion force is mustering from beyond the northern seas. And at its heart, a dark spirit mage wields the blood magic of ancient, vanquished gods. Summoner-King Martris Drayke must attempt to meet this great threat, gathering an army from a country ravaged by civil war. Neighboring lands reel toward anarchy while plague decimates their leaders. Drayke must seek new allies from among the living-and the dead-as an untested generation of rulers face their first battle. Then someone disturbs the legendary Dread as they rest in a millennia-long slumber beneath sacred barrows. Their warrior guardians, the Sworn, know the Dread could be pivotal as a force for great good or evil. But if it's the latter, could even the Summoner-King's sorcery prevail?
