James D. Mills

Hromgir of the Sparrow Clan is on the run after a raid gone wrong. Braving the frozen wastes of the northern coast, he must reach the mountain pass to escape Wystran riders. Taking shelter in the depths of a strange cave, he unearths otherworldly horrors better left buried….

A thrilling tale to ring in the Brumal Whispers, a series of Weird Dark Fantasies beginning with the upcoming full-length novel, SOIL.

The Village in the Shins sits at the edge of the known world, overlooked by the tallest Guardians and protected by something older than memory. Its people are sincere, stubborn, and slowly starving… except for Ithica, whose garden blooms through the hardest winters, whose hands coax life from frozen soil. Yet her prayers for a child of her own go unanswered year after year.
