A complex, adult epic fantasy from a new Australian author ... original, dramatic, unputdownable ... Sierra has a despised and forbidden gift - she raises power from the suffering of others. Enslaved by the king's torturer, Sierra escapes, barely keeping ahead of Rasten, the man sent to hunt her down. then she falls in with dangerous company: the fugitive Prince Cammarian and his crippled foster-brother, Isidro. But Rasten is not the only enemy hunting them in the frozen north and as Sierra's new allies struggle to identify friend from foe, Rasten approaches her with a plan to kill the master they both abhor. Sierra is forced to decide what price she is willing to pay for her freedom and her life ... Original, dramatic and unputdownable, WINtER BE MY SHIELD is the first in an epic fantasy trilogy from brilliant new Australian talent Jo Spurrier. 'Unlikely heroes, villains you will cheer for, and cold that eats your bones. WINtER BE MY SHIELD will take you to an unforgiving place, but you won't want to leave it.' - Robin Hobb

You know when you buy a book because the cover appeals to you.... then you see the glorious Robin Hobb has chirped on the cover... you know you should have more of a reason, but you buy it anyway because it‘s so pretty.. ( how I discovered Wheel of Time by the way)
Well I say do it. This has been on my shelf for just over a year, and although it is pretty I thought... what if it‘s arse.?.
It isn‘t arse, it‘s utterly great. 📚📖🔪⚔️

Because I'm a bit neurotic, I bought new copies of the first two books. 😁

annamatopoetry I was going to say "and yet you buy paperback", but then I saw that they're not available in hardcover ? 6y
ghosthost I would do the same thing. 6y

day 6 #ReadJanuary @RealLifeReading It is 40 celcius here today 😓
I love these books, I feel like they are a hidden gem, cos I don't think many people have read or heard of these books. Great author if you like fantasy.
