After fleeing from his home during a family feud, Boris Jineman is left with only his brother and Winterer, the family’s treasured sword. The blade is legendary. The blade is dangerous. The blade is the only thing that connects him to the life he lost.
Then his beloved brother sacrifices his life for him. A final act of love that leaves twelve-year-old Boris alone in a world where Winterer is coveted by all.
Now Boris becomes the sole guardian of the sword. Every faction wants it. Every power-hungry noble schemes to take it. Every step he takes is watched by enemies who would kill him for a weapon they do not understand.
As Boris struggles to fend off those who are after his family blade, his heart only grows colder and stiffer. The boy who fled his home becomes a boy who trusts no one. The brother who protected him is gone. The sword he carries is both his burden and his only companion.
Will this young boy be able to survive this winter to reach the spring that awaits him, or will the weight of Winterer freeze his heart forever?
