The City of Snow & Stars: Cities of Wintenaeth Book One

A gritty YA Christian Fantasy tackling difficult topics surrounding abuse, human trafficking, and the question "Why does God let bad things happen?"

Trinia's Gift is the ability to duplicate herself perfectly in mind and body yet, every time she uses it, she feels like she loses another piece of her soul. Her abusive and power-hungry father, Caderyn, wishes to exploit her gift to create an army that obeys his command and rebuild the Airgíd Empire that fell a thousand years before.

Going on the run, Trinia seeks out the aid of the kingdoms that destroyed her people. When things don't go as planned, she's forced into trusting a failed mage, a man of legend with a vendetta, and a talking wolf to help her reach her goal by making a promise she isn't sure she can keep.

As she wrestles with the ghosts of her past trauma and new ones that keep piling up, Trinia begins to wonder where the justice is in it all, and whether she has what it takes to stop her father and save her people.

How far would you run to escape your future?

-II-

Filled with sweeping landscapes, terrifying creatures, and incredible legends, Wintenaeth is a land held together by a fragile peace. After the fall of the Old Airgíd Empire, four kingdoms rose from the ashes and now rule, but the Airgíd are not gone, nor have they forgotten what was done to them.

The City of Snow & Stars is book one in the Cities of Wintenaeth Trilogy and the first in a larger story which takes place over the twelve books planned in the series.

If you love The Lord of the Rings, The Chronicles of Narnia, or epic fantasy, you'll love this book.

About the Author
Howard, S. D.: - Author of Christian Fantasy. Developmental Editor. Author Coach. Entrepreneur. S. D. Howard helps authors create and polish their books through his work in the publishing industry and through his own platform at The Editing Bard. For years, Howard has devoted himself to helping authors put their best books forward.Howard's writing tackles issues of abuse and trauma, of the perils and triumphs of faith and, most importantly, of the sturdiness of the human soul through the lens of a fantastical world. Within the stories, survivors of trauma will find comfort in the fact that they are not alone. Those who haven't experienced trauma are given a glimpse of what they can do to walk beside someone who has. He lives in Eastern Oregon with his family, loves Lord of the Rings, and has way too many books (although he would argue that's not possible).
