As winter's grip tightens, the true test of courage begins. Once a fervent disciple of science, Bram now stands amidst the wreckage of his beliefs. Ral Tora’s plans to battle the Everwinter lie in ruins, and he’s been betrayed by the machinations of the Chellin court. With nowhere left to turn but northward, towards the ominous source of the Everwinter, he is haunted by the gnawing fear of what truths he may unearth amidst winter’s cold heart. Astrid's ambitious gamble has backfired catastrophically, costing her the throne of Chellin. Bereft of power and influence, she pins her last hope on the enigmatic Bramwell Thornley. If she can shepherd him towards his elusive destiny, she may yet reclaim her lost dominion.

Meanwhile, Falen grapples with a harrowing realization: her father is the architect of the Everwinter's devastation. Burdened by guilt, she knows she must return to the home she was banished from, confront her father, and brave the shadows of her past, if any of them are to survive. Drawn inexorably by the hand of fate, their destinies converge in the icy embrace of the north, where the ultimate reckoning awaits. Embark on an epic quest through a realm where the clash of science and magic unfolds amidst the icy clutches of the Everwinter.

Winter's Song celebrates the intimate, intense relationship Americans living in the northern Midwest have with the season. Many see it as a cold, drab, and miserable time of the year sprinkled with warm holiday spices and a yearning to fly south. Yet the book invites us into the lives of the hearty people of the north, born with ice in their veins, who accept and even embrace winter like it’s a member of the family. While the other seasons have their place among the pages, winter takes center stage and is depicted like a fantastic and familiar Nordic realm, one that has profoundly influenced and shaped the people of the north. From amusing stories of winter driving, unique fashions, and the inspiring experiences of children, to the effect winter has on spirituality, the health benefits of the cold, and the outsized role of the meteorologist, Mischke paints the season with whimsical humor, breathtaking beauty, ancient lore, and cultural touchstones. But Winter’s Song is more than a collection of heart-warming stories of those living in the north. It holds a frosty mirror up to their lives and examines their determination to weather the season and the abundant joy they receive from it. Only living there, can one find deeper meaning in the fluttering snow, the sparkles cast from sun-lit icicles, and the twinkling darkness overhead at night. Winter's Song isn’t just a hymn. It’s an ode that elevates the season to a living breathing presence and passes its rich rewards to those who invite it in.

Lady Elizabeth Cary has been invited for a stay at Baynards Castle by her friend and mentor Countess Mary Herbert. The two are attending a play at the Globe when Countess Mary’s son Philip appears and tells his mother of the plot against the king. When the play ends, Countess Mary’s party returns to Baynard’s, where all await news of the night’s events.

Roger Winter has always been preoccupied with “recording reality in all its strangeness,” in the words of biographer and art historian Susie Kalil. His works partake of wide-ranging influences: childhood memories of gospel hymns blaring from a loudspeaker atop the “Holy Roller” church near his home; strange totems composed of crows, foxes, angels, and old family photographs; rusted cars resting among chest-high weeds; faces reflected in the windows of a New York City bus. According to his siblings, he has been an artist since he was “pre-verbal,” and in a career spanning eight decades, he has continually reinvented himself, breaching the boundaries of one stylistic convention after another—never content to allow the expression of his vision to be constrained to a single vocabulary. In this definitive retrospective of Winter’s life and art, Kalil explores not only the myriad influences of the artist and his dizzying stylistic journey but also allows Winter’s work to pose important questions: Why do some people become artists and others don’t? What gives artists their unique modes of perception and expression? Where is the line of separation between what is seen and what is represented? Between the maker and what is made? The Art of Roger Winter: Fire and Ice offers an in-depth portrait of one of today’s most important American painters. Critics, collectors, scholars, students, and art lovers will glean deep insights from this study in contrasts.
