Ashes of a Black Frost

More about the book

Bones protruded from the sand at unnatural angles, while the living gazed vacantly at a scene of carnage on a desert battlefield covered in metallic snow. Major Konowa Swift Dragon, despite achieving a grand victory for the Calahrian Empire, faces a future steeped in shadow and blood. He came in search of his lost regiment of elves, while the Imperial Prince sought treasures from a mystical library, but both quests have failed. Konowa and the Iron Elves—both living and dead—recognize that a more significant battle looms. The desert campaign is merely a step on a dark path leading to the Hyntaland and a final confrontation with the Shadow Monarch. In this third installment of the Iron Elves saga, Konowa’s journey grows perilous. A vast, dark forest becomes a source of new evil, birthing creatures more monstrous than the blood trees. The unstable former emissary of the Shadow Monarch seeks revenge, commanding an army of ravenous beasts intent on annihilating the Iron Elves. Meanwhile, Private Alwyn Renwar struggles to maintain his connection to the living and the loyalty of the shades of the dead. In underground tunnels, Visyna Tekoy, a figure from Konowa’s past, fights for her life against the very elves he seeks. As he departs the Canyon of Bones, Konowa pursues freedom from a curse that darkens his life, unaware of the destiny awaiting him and the fate of the Iron Elves resting on the courage of one wrathful elf.
