It's been more than a decade since Nathan Mercer escaped from the lands of the fae. He had once vowed that he would rather die than go back.
That all changes when the princess of the Spring Court arrives at the inn running for her life, seeking Nathan's help. Not one to turn away somebody in need, Nathan offers her his protection, yet the only way to fulfill his promise is to return to the one place that has haunted his existence since he could remember.
It's now up to Nathan, Silera, and Sabine to journey into the frozen hallways of the Winter Court and find the culprit behind the threat on the spring princess life. Nathan must face his past, reconcile his present and prepare for his future if he is to survive the biggest challenge of his long life. A royal ball.
Someone better get his tux ready, things are about to get bloody.
Thank you very much to SmashBear Publishing for inviting me back on the book tour for John Ortega’s third instalment in the Rune Caster Chronicles and for sending me a free copy of Winter’s Wolf in exchange for a review 🐻✨
The annual dip into the trials and tribulations of Nathan Mercer’s magical world continues!
The writing in this series goes from strength to strength with each book along with Nathan’s characterisation as we see his more vulnerable side in this one (and usual dry wit that we know and love)
I enjoyed the root of the action in this one and getting to experience the land of the fae up close - complete with challenges, villainous families, fiesty unicorns, a glamorous ball and a murder mystery plot!
If there’s one thing that John Ortega does well it’s leaving the story on a cliffhanger and setting the scene for the next adventure!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This is my favorite of the Rune Caster books so far. I love getting this look into the fae courts and I love that each book is a fantasy and a mystery.
