I have absolutely loved this series all the way through. Winter is an amazing character. She's real, raw, someone I totally connected with. The fourth and final book in the series goes deep into Winter's past, drawing tightly together the dual timelines that have run through the whole series. There are some serious twists, so I'm not going into the plot for that reason, but suffice it to say that the author's careful plotting totally shines in this finale. And I don't say this lightly--very few books bring tears to my eyes, but this one did.

The end is coming

After four years of struggling to defeat Xaphan things come to a head. Can Winter save Kaci and make sure the prophecy about Kaci and her baby come true?

Read the first three books before you read this one. There is Winter, Prophetess, and The Acolyte before this first album Winter book, The Mantle. The entire series is riveting and shows that even though we as people aren't perfect, God can still use them.

Wow!!! Well written!! I’ve really loved this entire series!
If you’re into supernatural thrillers and Christian fiction, you need to read this series.

Mantle is a powerful supernatural thriller—bordering on horror—and contains one of the most astonishing portrayals of spiritual warfare I’ve ever seen in fiction. It’s masterfully written and the story is a runaway roller coaster. The characters are real—after four books, intensely so—especially Winter. Her journey will break your heart and then put it together again.

From the beginning, the Winter series has always been about Winter’s journey into darkness and back out again. Mantle reveals far darker depths than I had imagined, but it also features brighter heights.
