Winter witch

In a village deep in the eternal winter of the north, a child is born - only to be driven out of his village community a little later because he is possessed by a strange spirit. Only the mysterious winter witches of Irrisen, a land trapped in a permanent magical winter, take care of him. Further south, in cosmopolitan Korvosa, a young cartographer with a penchant for counterfeiting discovers that his near-lover has disappeared, kidnapped by strange ice magic. This is the story of Ellasif, a barbarian shieldmaid who is doing everything she can to find her missing sister, and Declan, a young former magician - now a cartographer who wants to prove himself to the woman he loves. Together they face monsters, magic and the wrath of Ellasif's own coldhearted warriors in their quest to save their loved ones. But it becomes too late.
