Blood Winter — S.L. Figuhr

Nicky's legacy of corruption and greed continues to infect the town of Macinas and its inhabitants. Nobles and court officials scramble to plunder the kingdom's remaining wealth, and scheme to become the new advisor. The commoner's are left to fend for themselves, as the unusually cruel winter claims many lives. Not even the sheriff's office, struggling to redeem their tarnished image, can keep everyone safe. The king, gripped by paranoia and thoughts of assassins, ignore his subject's pleas. Duchess Illyria plans vengeance on those who stand in her way of uniting the town, joined by her secret consort, Eron. Will any mortal be left alive after the bloody winter passes, or will the Immortals be the only survivors in the kingdom?
