Publisher's Synopsis
The outpost is the most remote and isolated in the kingdom, secluded and unreachable for much of the year. Battered by unforgiving winter storms and the devil's wind, the outpost is home to a most unusual and unique group. These men and women, shunned by society and their own families, outcasts and criminals, desire only to go unnoticed in the frozen wasteland. In a land ruled by snow bears, wolves, and the bitter winter, life can be harsh and often quite short.
Each winter, the vicious winds drive ships to their doom along the rocky northern shores. These wrecks rarely leave survivors and only occasionally yield scraps for scavengers and looters. A new wreck not only brings a survivor, but also a new threat. Anouk, a mysterious young lady, travels with enchanted documents that could spell doom for the entire kingdom.
Anouk reveals that the Artifacts of Condir, long thought to be nothing but myth, are in fact real. The documents she carries tell the location of the artifacts. If the three artifacts are ever brought together, it will trigger a catastrophic event that will bring down the king and devastate much of the kingdom. Now the outcasts and misfits must band together to save the king and perhaps the kingdom in a fight none wanted nor expected.
