Enslaved by the king's torturer, Sierra escapes, barely keeping ahead of Rasten, the man sent to hunt her down. Then she falls in with dangerous company: the fugitive Prince Cammarian and his crippled foster-brother, Isidro. But Rasten is not the only enemy hunting them in the frozen north and as Sierra's new allies struggle to identify friend from foe, Rasten approaches her with a plan to kill the master they both abhor. Sierra is forced to decide what price she is willing to pay for her freedom and her life ... Original, dramatic and unputdownable, WINTER BE MY SHIELD is the first in an epic fantasy trilogy from brilliant new Australian talent Jo Spurrier.… (meer)

I ordered this book direct from Australia because I wanted to read it that badly. It was totally worth the price plus shipping. Spurrier has created this fascinating, complex, political, and harsh world that (while never wanting to live there) I fell right into. Her world building was superb, and subtle. And the plot was great. I got hooked into the story and wanted to scream because the ending just ended and I wanted the next book so I could find out what happens next.

The book did have it's flaws, which isn't unexpected considering it's Spurrier's first book - but to be honest, I overlooked most of them because this book was much better than some other authors' 10th+ book. (

We spend endless months in the Alaskan like northern winter of Ricalan which has been colonized from the east and is being invaded from the west. The story is well told and moves at a decent pace, but we aren't exposed to anything we haven't been before in fantasy novels of the last 4 decades. The characters, though they have some potential, lack interiority and are more told than shown. (

Dark, extremely gritty and unsparing in its treatment of darn near every character, but what a great read! I'm so glad I bought all three in the series at the same time. Great world building and cast of players. (

I have no idea where I picked up the recommendation for this book, and it kicked around in my kindle for a few weeks before I started it. I can't understand why it isn't it better known. I so enjoyed the different magic system and especially the complex and developing characters. (

A new fantasy that balances a swords-and-wilderness setting with a charming absence of prophecy; these people just trying to live their lives are complex and compelling enough. (
