Synopsis

Those who see the dead soon join them.

From the author of the critically acclaimed Blackwing trilogy comes Ed McDonald's Daughter of Redwinter, the first of a brilliant fantasy series about how one choice can change a universe.

Raine can see—and speak—to the dead, a gift that comes with a death sentence. All her life she has hidden, lied, and run to save her skin, and she’s made some spectacularly bad choices along the way.

But it is a rare act of kindness—rescuing an injured woman in the snow—that becomes the most dangerous decision Raine has ever made. Dangerous because the woman is fleeing from Redwinter, the fortress-monastery of the Draoihn, warrior magicians who answer to no king, and who will stop at nothing to reclaim what she’s stolen. A battle, a betrayal, and a horrific revelation force Raine to enter the citadel and live among the Draoihn. She soon finds that her secret ability could be the key to saving an entire nation.

Though she might have to die to make it happen . . .

A Macmillan Audio production from Tor Books.

Original review posted on my blog Out of This World SFF: [URL not allowed] Before I begin my review of this book I would just like to mention that Ed McDonald quite quickly cemented his place as one of my favorite authors with his previous series, Raven's Mark. If you haven't ha......more

Goodreads review by Nicholas on December 05, 2021

Ed McDonald only writes awesome books. Period. Daughter of Redwinter is less grim than his previous series. There's much more intrigue, cool lore, and ancient, mysterious factions in play. Also, like its main character, I didn't know who to trust until the very last page. Even now I'm not so sure.........more

My thanks to Macmillan Tor/Forge, Ed McDonald and Netgalley. This is another case of being happy to read a book that I never would have picked up on my own! I didn't like this book at all! Until I kept reading it. It's true that some stories aren't that great to begin with, and this was NO exception! Fo......more
