A Dagger in the Winds
この電子書籍について
Wacław dreams of a purpose. Except he's never actually dreamed. Each night, his soul leaves his body and wanders, free from his father's scorn, but when the goddess of winter and death unleashes his dark power, his only hope for answers is the witch he’s forbidden to see.
The entire village fears Otylia, but she’d rather be serving her goddesses alone in the woods anyway. Everyone else has abandoned her—even Wacław—and the only thing she despises more than him is the winter goddess. But when she discovers her lost friend bearing winter’s Frostmark, she realizes the horrible truth.
Winter will not end, and only together can they stop it.
In this first book of an epic fantasy series rooted in Slavic mythology, dive into a new world with menacing magic and beasts, scheming gods, a group of allied misfits, and plenty of secrets to uncover.

著者について
Brendan Noble is a Polish and German-American author currently writing fantasy inspired by Slavic mythology: The Frostmarked Chronicles. Through these books and his “Slavic Saturday” post series on YouTube and his website, he hopes to bring the often-forgotten stories of eastern Europe into new light.
Shortly after beginning his writing career in 2019 with the publication of his debut novel, The Fractured Prism (Book 1 of The Prism Files), Brendan married his wife Andrea and moved to Rockford, Illinois from his hometown in Michigan. Since then, he has published six full-length novels, including four in The Prism Files and two in The Frostmarked Chronicles, along with a novella for the latter series.
Brendan founded Eight-One-Five Publishing in 2021, wishing to inspire and help authors in the Rockford area write, publish, and distribute their works, regardless of socio-economic status.
Outside of writing, Brendan is a data analyst, soccer referee, and the president of Rockford FC (Rockford’s semi-pro soccer club). His top interests include German, Polish, and American soccer/football, Formula 1, analyzing political elections across the world, playing extremely nerdy strategy video games, exploring with his wife, and reading.
