The Lady of the Snowmist

Evil is not a foreign body which some clever surgeon of morals can neatly excise; it is a part of ourselves which we have to learn to live with.

Jarik Blacksword has ties with the gods.

He wields the almighty, powerful Black Sword and bears the bonds of the gods. However, he is given his freedom from these bonds by the Lady of the Snowmist, who instead binds him in a blood-tie to ensure his part is played in the war that rages between the gods.

Jarik and his warrior-woman companion Jilain soon find themselves caught in the middle of a bloody struggle.

On the one side, there are the Iron Lords who desperately long for the Lady of the Snowmist's demise and will stop at nothing to destroy her. The other side is that of the Lady of the Snowmist, who may not be as evil as the Iron Lords claim she is.

However, once The Lady of the Snowmist freed Jarik of his god-bonds, she did not anticipate the boundless rage of Jarik's god-sword... nor which side he will support.

Will he become a friend or a foe of the mystical sorceress? Soon he and Jilain will discover that the wrong decision could cost them their lives...
