Barrow of Winter

Hall of Smoke, Book 3

By: H.M. Long

Narrated by: Samara Naeymi

Thrilling epic fantasy adventures set in the world of HALL OF SMOKE and TEMPLE OF NO GOD, featuring murderous conspiracies, howling icy wastelands and the Children of Winter, for fans of Claire LeGrand, Margaret Owen, V. E. Schwab and Melissa Caruso

Thray is the Last Daughter of Winter, half immortal and haunted by the legacy of her blood. When offered a chance to visit the northern land of Duamel, where her father once ruled, she can't refuse—even if it means lying to the priesthood she serves and the man she loves.

In Duamel, Thray's demi-god siblings rule under the northern lights, worshipped by arcane cults. An endless winter night cloaks the land, giving rise to strange beasts, terrible storms and a growing, desperate hunger. The people of Duamel teeter on the edge of violence, and Thray's siblings, powerful and deathless, stand with them on the brink.

To earn her siblings' trust and find the answers she seeks, Thray will have to weather assassinations, conspiracies and icy wastelands. And as her siblings turn their gaze towards the warmer, brighter land she calls home, she must harness her own feral power and decide where her loyalties lie.

Because when the spring winds blow and the ice breaks up, the sons and daughters of Winter will bring her homeland to its knees.

An excellent continuation

This was a fresh and exciting journey that built on Hessa’s story. The combination of being both a standalone and part of a series has been really fun to get into. Can’t wait for the next!
