Shield of Winter: A Sword and Sorcery Epic Fantasy Novel of Gods, Dragons and Forbidden Magic

Alana has been captured. She expected an agonizing death to follow, but instead, she now finds herself a guest of the Tsar. Locked away amidst untold wealth and luxury, it isn’t long before she learns the reason she was spared – her entire life has been a lie. Her true identity lurks within, chained by magic, but with promises of untold power. It terrifies her, and yet…she must know the truth.

Meanwhile, ex-soldier Devon plans a fresh rebellion in Trola. But after carving his legend in the blood of their people, he’s a marked man. He’ll have to watch his step if he’s to successfully negotiate the shifting tides of the Trolan cause – and not get himself killed in the process. Either way, failure is not an option, because without an uprising, Alana will be lost to him forever…

The secret heir. The disgraced soldier. The empire standing between them. Shield of Winter takes everything that made Oathbreaker unmissable and breaks it wide open — a sword and sorcery epic fantasy of hidden identities, rebellion, and forbidden love from NYT Bestselling Author Aaron Hodges.
