A Bitter Thaw, the sequel to my dark fantasy novel, Bleeding Iris, is free to download through May 19th. Readers have compared the style to R.F. Kuang (The Poppy War), Seth Dickinson (The Traitor Baru Cormorant), or Ken Liu (The Dandelion Dynasty).

Here is the blurb (contains spoilers for Book 1):

What hope lies at the brink of the abyss?

Ensnared in both flesh and mind, Odalig is lost, cast by the fierce gales of grief into the cerebral void. The death of the immortal king has unleashed a dire new threat. The Cannibal King now commands the legions of Prarisritai, and he serves only one: Shetani. As hope dwindles, a meager resistance emerges from the wreckage of their misdeeds, striving to make amends and reclaim their future. The Cannibal King’s inherited army sweeps north, subjugating all in their path. The resistance struggles to defend Seltonwelf from this growing menace, yet to restore the continent's salvation, they might need to look beyond its borders.

Triumph looms as an insurmountable peak but scaling it might be the only path to redemption.

Hope you enjoy!
