Horns of Shadow and Gold

By F David Schultz

The death of a matriarch threatens to shatter the nation of Vsevora. While her secrets could ignite a firestorm, there is a greater danger: a vicious beast empowered by dark spirits.

Kostyk, a night-hunter sworn to protect the mountains, must face both the ghosts of their past and the monsters that have been awakened. Kostyk's hunt brings them together with an artist's apprentice and an unlikely courier. Now each must grapple with their nightmares before nightmare consumes the nation.

Vsevora is a land inspired by the beauty and culture of Ukraine. Within its borders are frigid mountains and windswept plains, giant boars and firebirds, night-hunters and the nightmare witch.

Horns of Shadow and Gold is a political fantasy and standalone followup to Schultz's Crown of Horns that explores the nature of truth, both in the world and in oneself. Fans will be excited to return to familiar places, while new readers can fall in love with a new cast and a wealth of magic and myth.
