Winter’s Chill

Morgan L. Busse’s fantasy Winter’s Chill serves a lighter episode of the Nordic War series, shifting from war drama to political suspense.

Winter’s Pax has come. Two armies in the world’s wild north settle in to survive the cold season and regroup before war resumes in spring. Reluctant healer Kaeden must find his way as the new Truthsayer, while Nordic hero Brighid must journey back to her people to warn them of their Allies’ true intent. During this uncertain peace, they must explore the challenges of living a missional life among secretly scheming friends. Morgan L. Busse’s fantasy Winter’s Chill serves a lighter episode of the Nordic War series, shifting from war drama to political suspense with fantasy flair. Slower pacing favors this Viking-inspired, character-driven tale whose setting and style evokes hot beverages and epic music by a blazing hearth.

Best for: Teen and adult fans of fantasy with political intrigue.

Discern: Some battle scenes with limited details, minimally described torture scenes, demon-like beings attack human victims.
