True Winter

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, these 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. By convincing Orion to join, the chains are as good as theirs. 

However, the House of David isn’t the only group 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? 

In Q.K. Petty’s True Winter book, the first in A Series of Four Seasons, a relentless blend of urban fantasy thriller and psychological thriller unfolds, perfect for fans of Leigh Bardugo and James Rollins.
