Winterborn #4
Queenslayer
Upon the day prey kills predator, two sisters shall bring forth the dawn of evil and the rise of a new god.
Upon the day the brother becomes the father, a duel shall bring forth a new kingdom.
Upon the day siblings rival, a suspicious accident shall bring forth an age of inhumanity and justice.
Upon the day the world turns to winter, a forced marriage shall mark a cursed age and the return of monsters.
Upon the day that the sister becomes the mother, the dark one shall cause the downfall of two kingdoms.
Upon the day that fire comes to the sea of ice, a woman with golden hair shall bring about the death of a god.
Five years have passed since Melinda Eriksdaughter, Twice-born servant of Auril, and her companions defeated the werewolf cult threatening the Moonwood and its people. Now a woman of eighteen years, Melinda has spent the last few years gaining strength and making a name for herself in the frozen north of the world. As Melinda Rimedancer, she seeks to spread the word of Auril across the icy land.
However, forces beyond her comprehension are in motion. A prophecy has been revealed to all those with a connection to the gods. Six prophetic lines that threaten to shake the world to its foundations. Will she be able to chart a course through the coming storm? Or will she find herself adrift? Either way, she will need to seek out old friends and new allies to see this through.

About the author
Stuart Grosse
229 books209 followersI'm a rookie author, looking to write stories that I enjoy writing. Not gonna get awards, but honestly, I'm happy with each and every person that reads my work.
Stuart is a sci-fi and anime geek, who dabbles in tabletop and video gaming. He enjoys cosplaying and has gone to DragonCon annually since 2009. Frozen Soul is his first book.
It is a sad, sad day when you finally break down and realize that you will never have the life you wanted, never do the things you wished to do, and never see the things you wanted to see. All because of a stupid lack of lightsabers.
I was a 26 y/o college student at Armstrong Atlantic State University, as a theater major. Went to school for a while before, dropped out, tried to go back, dropped out.. Not much to say other than the fact that I'm a laid back guy, and the only drama I like is the kind that's on the stage.
If I act like an idiot, or do anything to offend you, chances are it is not intentional, and I'm being oblivious. In that case, hit me upside the head, and tell me, because I don't catch subtle hints.

3 An Age Of Inhumanity And Justice Stars
Queenslayer is the fourth book in the Winterborn series by Stuart Grosse.
There were still too many errors in the roll log for during battles. Unless the author is thinking most people won't pay attention to the confusing mass of numbers and letters that make up their battles? It annoys me to continue to find so many, might I have missed the egregious errors in the first two books?
I think the most ridiculously fascinating, and disgusting, aspect of this book was the implosion balls left behind from the spells affect. While the mob of creepy hive minded corrupted masses was certainly not in any way a desirable for to foe to face, it does not match the implosion spell.
There's a amalgamation of old and new within this books band of adventurers. Siora and Vestele return to sing their Goddess' praises, and spread Her name. A sad lack of Frostmane, to find he perished within the span of time between Moonwater and this time of prophecy. Alas, Ebonheart has been able to fill a portion of the lack of the animal companion variety. Made more intriguing by the fact he's a black unicorn. Fartooth is one kobold archer that certainly kicks ass. Finally, one must not forget Captain Jack of the Black Wraith, a unruly and hilariously skilled fighter and ship flier.
It will certainly be interesting to see with this series, and this troubling prophecy take us next. Hopefully more books will come out soon enough.
