The Ironbound continue to rise in COLD WIND, Book 2 in the epic fantasy adventure series, IRONBOUND!

Lost and forgotten, Castor is a prisoner of the very Iron Empire he once served.

Thought of as a common criminal, Castor guards his dangerous secret—that he has bound a second Symbol—with his life. If the Censors knew, they’d execute him on the spot.

There is only one path to freedom and avenging his family.

He must earn it no longer as a member of the Iron Legions, but by spilling blood for one of the great Houses.

The dead gods stir in their rotting slumber. Dangerous enemies stalk his new master. Surrounded on all sides, Castor must learn the secrets of his Cor Heart and reach new heights of power before it is too late.

And in the wake of his Ascent comes the first sign of change – A COLD WIND.

Book 2 in this action-packed, adrenaline-fueled Progression Fantasy Epic from Andrew Givler, bestselling author of Soul Fraud, and the creator of Sigils, a Youtube channel with 1.4+ Million Subscribers.

Perfect for fans of Arcane Ascension, Mark of the Fool, Pierce Brown’s Red Rising series, The Will of the Many, Book 1 in the Hierarchy series (James Islington), Joe Abercrombie’s The First Law Trilogy (The Blade Itself, Before They Are Hanged, Last Argument of Kings), Jim Butcher’s Codex Alera Series, and The Sword of Kaigen.
