The Winter of Swords: A Grimdark Epic

by Aaron Bunce

Overview

An intelligent, six-limbed beast snatches a girl away from her family.

An orphan confronts the darkness in his past, while a menace stalks his small town.

A young woman cast into servitude tries to forge her own path in an unforgiving world.

And an inexperienced soldier following the path of honor and duty comes face to face with a foe born from his worst nightmares.

Seemingly unconnected, this small group of normal folk will fight to survive, for an ancient evil has awakened, and Denoril will need heroes if it is to endure the WInter of Swords.

Editorial Reviews

Praise for The Winter of Swords

"Bunce's relentless pacing rips evil out of a pit, races it across the landscape, and then flings us back into the depths of fear, desperation, and treachery. The Winter of Swords embraces us in a dark, satisfying read."

Tamara Jones, author of Spore, Morgan's Run, and the Dubric Byerly Mysteries

"A fast-paced saga filled with dark magic, flawed heroes, and the occasional six-limbed intelligent beast! The Winter of Swords delivers on all counts, a sweeping epic fantasy that introduces us to the land of Denoril and the courageous, desperate few who are the world's only hope."

Dennis Green, author of the Traveler Trilogy

"Bunce intricately weaves the seven deadly sins throughout

The Winter of Swords, making it a wickedly superb read!"

A.R. Miller, author of the Fey Creations Series

* * * *

"Aaron Bunce has created something special in The Winter of Swords, an entire living, breathing world full of complicated characters, fantastic beasts, and ancient secrets and sorcery. The only thing separating him from Tolkien and Martin when it comes to world building and storytelling is a lack of the letters R.R. in the middle of his name."

Jed Quinn, author of the Orchard Trilogy, and the Krypteia Conspiracy
