A Spirit of Ice

Frozen by ice. Burned by fire. Hounded by spirits of pain and betrayal from the highest peaks to the deepest depths, with no one to count on but himself. John's life as an Inquisitor just keeps getting harder... A single step took John Gilliam, the Faceless Man and Divine Inquisitor, from a world of sunshine to one of ice and darkness, one where only the strongest and fittest survive. Once more, he must find the imbalance threatening the world and stop it before it unleashes a terrible disaster, but he faces more challenges here than ever before. A genocidal war rages across the land, one that he'll be swept up in whether he likes it or not. The people around him fear and mistrust strangers, leaving him scrambling to learn how the powers of this world work. Powerful spirits seem to be hunting him wherever he goes, and he doesn't know his allies from his true enemies. He's done some terrible things in his life, but genocide hasn't been one of them. At least, not yet. If he chooses poorly, though, he might not be able to say that again. Trapped between spirits of fire and ice, which will he choose to embrace, or will he extinguish them all?
