A new world … an old enemy
In the third and final part of major trilogy ‘The Wintering’, Kell fights fiercely for a new world. The enchanting possibility of freedom is now within reach, yet Kell knows that death lurks around every corner.
Despite all that he has done and witnessed he is still only a boy. He has destroyed the city of Thule, the immense weight of one of the massive metal sky orbs sent crashing down on the city by his merest thought.
Kell is still only a player in the ancient enigma of the Weird’s game. The web of obstacles is vast and the only way to find a way through the Weird’s mysteries is to trust to his feelings. Kell must follow his instincts and stand firm no matter how terrifying the battle becomes.
The biggest obstacle of all, the All Mother, is not defeated.
Kell must return to Perth, the enclave where he grew up, stifled by the false warmth and lies of the All Mother and face his oldest enemy.
Only by making this perilous journey can he finally be free…
Thaw is the final instalment of Stephen Bowkett’s thrilling Wintering Trilogy, following the adventures of Kell through a dangerous and mystic fantasy world.
