The City of Snow & Stars (New Degree Press, 2020)
Cities of Wintenaeth Book One
By S.D. Howard
Fiction/Fantasy
“There is no such thing as coincidence.”
This book grabbed me in the first chapter and reeled me in. The author’s expert use of fantasy and imagination undergirds a serious message that’s both subtle and powerful. Sturdy writing, a solid plot combined with well-crafted characters and prodigious world-building skills round out the theme.
Main Characters:
Trinia: A young woman on the run, fleeing her abusive father – who’s also king. Her Gift is the ability to duplicate herself. But her father wants to exploit her Gift to create an army for his own nefarious purposes.
