Iron Winter
Baxter Stephen
It is 1315. And darkness is falling . . .
Many
generations ago the Wall was first built to hold back the sea.
Northland, a country of fertile plains and ancient forests rescued from
the ocean, has become a thriving civilisation based on trade, technology
and tradition, centred on the ancient home of the first builders,
Etxelur. The whole of Europe, spanned by the Northlanders' steam caravan
lines, has been changed in ways that could never have been predicted.
But
nothing can last forever, not even the Wall. The weather is changing,
growing colder, and in the wake of the long winters come famine,
destruction and terror. And as whole nations are forced out of their
lands and head for warmer climes, it seems that even Northland may not
be able to endure.
But there is one man, an elderly scholar, who
believes he can calculate why the world is cooling, and perhaps even
salvage some scraps of the great civilisation of Etxelur. As he embarks
on his grand quest across the world, as nations struggle for survival
and the fires of war burn in the gloom, only one thing is certain.
The Ice is coming.
