True Winter

A Secret-Society Urban Fantasy Thriller (A Series of Four Seasons Book 1)

Enter the hidden war. Claim the relic—or be destroyed by it.


Five hundred years ago, the Chains of Peter vanished—relics so dangerous they can shatter a soul or save it.


Now, the chains have resurfaced in Mobile, Alabama, and the House of David—a secret society sworn to contain cursed artifacts—is hunting them down. Leading the charge is Judge Eden Dowler—ruthless, loyal, and haunted by the sins of his past.


Eden has a plan: recruit his estranged half-brother Orion Bachman, the perfect candidate for the House—smart, strong, and unbroken. Convince Orion to join, and the chains are as good as theirs.


But the House of David isn’t the only one after the chains. A shadowy enemy called Seditio will stop at nothing to claim the artifact for themselves, even if it means tearing Eden’s family apart.


As the lines between protection and corruption blur, Eden must face an impossible choice: Will he guard his brother’s soul, or forge him into a weapon for a war that may never end?


True Winter ignites A Series of Four Seasons—a relentless blend of urban fantasy and psychological thriller, perfect for fans of Leigh Bardugo and James Rollins.

Quotes

True Winter

Then she comes to a page with highlighted text.

"This is what I wanted to show you. This is the whole point of the book."

Her scarred and slender finger points out the line, and I finally glance down to read it. It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye. I go over the line again and again as she explains it. "It means what's most important—what's true—is invisible."

"And keep in mind, I chose you because I saw the pain in you. Your pain helps you empathize with others. There's no guarantee your brother shares that trait, especially if he's been coddled from a young age."

I don't think pain is necessary for empathy, and I don't think empathy is necessary for effectiveness.
