Description

Mirona's Law is the second installment of The Chronicles of Rostogov


The gods of hearth and harvest,
The year they share among them,
The spring, the summer, the fall,
But the winter they leave to Mirona,
Mirona, whose breath is ice,
Mirona, whose touch is death,
Gods and men alike,
Subject to her law.
-Rostogovian proverb

A month has passed since Gerasim of Kver defended the walls of Dalgorod from the ambitious Kirill Voisilovich. But that victory provides little comfort now as winter descends upon Rostogov. Even as Kirill awaits his trial for high treason, hidden forces continue to plot against the reign of the ailing Velikye Knyaza, Serafima Vladekovna. Every day her strength weakens while the realm’s powerful noble families scheme to expand their power. When presented with a chance to seek a cure for the terrible sickness threatening to consume her, she must decide whether or not the realm will tear itself apart in her absence. 

Meanwhile, far to the north, a young Dikarie warrior struggles to pick up the pieces of her shattered world after the warband’s defeat at the hands of the Rostogovians. When she finds herself beholden to a leader she once trusted above all others, she learns that loyalty can be deadlier than any weapon. 

But unlike winters past, this year “Mirona’s Law” brings more than snow and ice. Something ancient stirs in Rostogov, lurking in the shadows of every city and festering in the blackest hearts of the forests. When the goddess of death’s long night falls upon the realm, what nightmares will the darkness bring with it?

Mirona's Law is the second installment of The Chronicles of Rostogov


The gods of hearth and harvest,
The year they share among them,
The spring, the summer, the fall,
But the winter they leave to Mirona,

My thanks to Ben Sperduto, Curiosity Quills Press, and Netgalley for this preview copy.
I don't think I've been so caught up in an epic-fantasy series like this since Brandon Sanderson's Stormlight Archives. That's saying something. I'm fairly picky about which fantasy books I read, and I love this series! The world building isn't so grand in scope as I usually like, but the people and their different cultures and beliefs are fascinating. This second book was so full of intrigue and action, that I couldn't read it fast enough! People who in the first book, who were loathsome, have become allies and halfway likeable. I still hate them, but now I love to hate them! I don't like that I may have to wait up to a year "or more," for the third part of this trilogy, but one things for sure. I will be here waiting. Yep, I'd recommend this series, and author. Great story.
