Winterbirth by Brian Ruckley

Set in a world where ancient alliances and rivalries shape the fate of nations, this epic fantasy tale unfolds amidst the harsh, unforgiving landscapes of the north. As the long-forgotten gods stir from their slumber, the fragile peace between the Bloods, the ruling clans, is shattered, plunging the land into chaos and war. Central to the unfolding conflict is a young heir, whose journey of survival and self-discovery becomes intertwined with the destiny of his people. As alliances shift and betrayals abound, the struggle for power and survival becomes a test of loyalty, courage, and the enduring strength of the human spirit.
