Winter’s Handmaiden by JC Wade
A goddess disappears without warning.
Humanity suffers in an enduring winter.
Within a modern archeology dig site, unsuspecting Maryn Ferguson uncovers a powerful and mysterious ancient artifact that thrusts her into a journey of epic proportions. Entrenched in a land of fairies, gods, and monsters, the world’s fate rests solely on her shoulders.
Well, she’s not exactly alone. She and her appointed guide . . . sidekick . . . er, a reluctant best friend must outmaneuver treacherous spies, snarling monsters, and menacing gods, all while trying not to freeze to death.
When disaster strikes, and she’s plunged into the world of the dead, Maryn’s carefully bandaged heart threatens to unravel at the hands of the smoke-show-of-a-god, Arawn.
Will she sacrifice her dream of returning to the safe, detached world she still craves, or will she risk everything to save millions of lives and maybe find a life filled with more love and fulfillment than she ever imagined?
