The Shades of Winter A Novel of Averraine

A group of aging sea raiders go out for one last mission of revenge, and get a whole lot more than they bargained for.

The Kyndred were a special band of warriors, sworn to serve their king to the death. But Njall had died twenty years before, in a war that had almost destroyed everything the people of Raeth had built, and the Kyndred had resigned themselves to living out a sad oblivion, trying to hang on to the shreds of their honour.

When the chance to redeem all they had lost with this final sacrifice came, they were only too willing to embrace it, but Fate and the gods had a very different plan in mind.
