When an ancient goddess vanishes without warning, winter rages on.
Maryn Ferguson never expected to be the one to uncover the artifact tied to the goddess's disappearance-or to be thrust through it into a realm of faeries, gods, and monsters where her choices may determine humanity's fate.
Alone in a brutal land ruled by immortal powers, Maryn must rely on a reluctant guide and navigate treacherous alliances, prowling monsters, and gods who view mortals as expendable. Each step forward costs her something she cannot easily reclaim.
When disaster plunges her into the realm of the dead, Maryn encounters Arawn-a god of smoke and shadow, bound by duty, impartial in judgment, and burdened by an ancient loneliness that has outlasted memory itself.
Drawn to his quiet gravity and unflinching fairness, Marlyn finds her carefully guarded heart awakening in a place where love was never meant to endure.
To save millions of lives, she must decide what she is willing to sacrifice: her dream of returning to the safe, detached world she once knew... or the fragile connection that gives meaning to eternity.
Perfect for fans of:
- myth-inspired fantasy
- Celtic folklore and gods
- portal fantasy
- slow-burn, emotional romance
- richly atmospheric storytelling
Buy Winter's Handmaiden and step into a world where gods keep vigil, love defies ages, and winter waits for no one.
