After losing everything in a foolhardy quest to slay a sea serpent, Eske of the Bear Clan journeys across the world to the holy city of Phyreios. There, he meets warriors from faraway lands, a rebel leader with the courage to defy the gods, and a gentle healer whose dreams foretell a great calamity. While at first Eske seeks only an opportunity to test his strength and a distraction from his grief, he soon becomes entangled in a clash of gods and monsters that will change the fate of Phyreios-and the world-forever. Inspired by Robert E. Howard's CONAN THE BARBARIAN and Ursula LeGuin's EARTHSEA novels, BEYOND THE FROST-COLD SEA is an epic tale of love, loyalty, rebellion, and ruin.
