Tears of Winter

Change is the only constant, and not all change is good. The change most recent for Tristan Walker was all the free time he now had after finding his girlfriend in a compromising position with a few other people. He went back to his normal routine of life and had mostly forgotten the indiscretion when he found himself waking on his couch after a bright flash of light, with two suns hanging in the sky.

After Tristan found himself on planet Yaraganin with the rest of humanity, it took weeks to find his way to the spot he would call home. Himself and five other women from the earth and their children made the long trek to Beast Grove. With five other local women and their children, he set up the start of their homestead just in time for the start of a Deep Winter, one that only comes every hundred years. Now the race for survival starts. The fear of starving to death hangs over their heads due to the increased metabolism their higher attributes give them.

Tristan must flee south, away from the battle against the Arctic Lindworm’s Skada. Behind him the battle for the Iron Duchy, Ahead the Meadow Duchy, with a fleeting promise of sanctuary, for those now forced to wander. They are refugees, scattered amongst the tide of fate. But the Lindworm’s rage has unleashed more than destruction. From their mountain home the goblins spill, a plague, their forms twisted by a new darkness, corrupted and made worse by something older, something strange.
