Short Story Companion to Dark of Winter

All Roads Lead To Ammin - Four short stories focusing on certain characters from the novel DARK OF WINTER have been brought together for the first time. They were tales lost to the world of snow and ice in the northern territories. No one knew about them - until now.

These short stories shed some light on the inhabitants of the village of Sumner and the mighty King. Learn how it all begins... before the DARK OF WINTER strikes.

All Roads Lead to Ammin brings the pre-history of the Dark of Winter to the reader in four unique dark fantasy short stories: WHITE, REINA, DEADEYE and FIALSUN.

WHITE

Forty years ago…

Keddic and Godin the adventurous duo, have travelled to a nearby phantom village which holds a deep fascination to the young boys of Sumner. A thick fog surrounds these ruins, shrouding it in menace. Will Keddic and Godin be safe as they investigate or does trouble lurk nearby in this abandoned site?

REINA

Seven years ago…

Herre, an expectant mother, is frightened she will lose her baby as her waters have not broken and instead she is hemorrhaging excessively. Her husband Stoneman rushes from their hut to fetch White, Sumner's village elder but will they return in time to assist or will a worse fate call at her door?

DEADEYE

Sixteen months ago…
