In the frozen realm of Kaludor, five centuries after the world shattered, banishing the gods and erasing mortal memories in the Great Forgetting, a seventeen-day countdown to the Eve of Snows unleashes unholy chaos. A secretive cabal schemes to return the banished deities, summoning the Shadows of Man—insidious demonic entities that possess the faithful, devouring souls and igniting clan rivalries into genocidal flames. Young priestess Eliles, grappling with forbidden powers and moral torment, stands at the epicenter, her choices risking holy war or demonic annihilation. Amid betrayals, brutal murders, and shadowy horrors stalking icy tundras and steaming lakes, warriors like Ivin uncover conspiracies that could fracture nations forever. As prophecies clash with personal loyalties, will the gods' return herald salvation... or eternal damnation? Eve of Snows, the gripping opener to L. James Rice's award-winning Sundering the Gods saga, delivers intricate worldbuilding, heart-pounding action, and morally gray characters in a tale of faith, fate, and frozen dread.
