In a world torn apart by war and chaos, extraordinary heroes rise to challenge an insidious evil that threatens to engulf the land.

J. V. Jones, hailed as "a striking writer" by Robert Jordan, weaves an unforgettable tale of ambition, betrayal, and the indomitable strength of the human spirit in Sword from Red Ice. Set in a cold, splintered world on the brink, this epic fantasy saga follows fascinating, compelling characters as they navigate a landscape of vicious clan rivalries and looming darkness.

A thousand years after a great war shook the land, chaos erupts anew as clans vie for dominance. Arrogant chiefs urge their followers into frenzied battles, plotting the defeat of their rivals despite those seeking unity. Amidst the turmoil, a sinister threat emerges from Spire Vanis, a city with a black heart of evil, whose rulers seek to control the clanholds.

In this maelstrom, a born killer with love and loyalty in his heart, a young woman with a mystical destiny, a betrayed brother, and a determined clanswoman each seek survival. Together, they may hold the keys to a world's salvation. Step into a realm of unending winter, dark magic, and ancient prophecies, where the line between good and evil blurs, and hidden talents emerge in the face of insurmountable odds.
