Description

What could possibly make a newly freed man risk recapture?

Unjustly imprisoned upon a desolate island, Ford Barlow desires freedom more than anything. His second wish would be to beat the tar out of a certain pesky priest. After finally getting off the island, he and his friends soon find themselves wallowing deep in the heart of Dargkivi, a remote underground slave city where a dwarfish race of greedy sadists toy with the lives of their captives.

Escape is elusive. Attempt after attempt leads Ford deeper into danger. He struggles through caves, mines, sea and arena battles, and the ruins of a lost city where blood-thirsty creatures lurk in the hidden crevices of the icy wilds.

A Note From the Publisher

Tolkien gatewayed Jason R. Koivu into fantasy. "Dungeons & Dragons" made him an addict. A 4th grade poetry prize convinced him this writing thing wasn't so difficult. A degree in writing showed him how little he knew. New England born and raised, he now resides in California with his wife and their cat Sir Ian.

Firstly, Thanks to NetGalley & Jason Koivu for letting me read A Winter of Chains.

This book should have been titled, Ford: a series of unfortunate events; simply because these events are central to the entire story.

A nicely written story from start to finish, that is slightly long winded in some areas. An adventure fantasy that unfolds, and your along for the ride. Not a sword&Sorcery book, but but interesting fantasy that does leave you wanting another adventure from the new friend duo of Will&Ford.
