Book excerpt: Dawn is deeply disappointed when a blinding snowstorm prevents her, Cree, and their twins from traveling to be with his sister, Wintra, for the birth of her first bairn. To lift Dawn’s spirits and entertain the villagers who have sought refuge in the keep, Old Mary shares a haunting tale—The Winter Tale—one that both captivates and terrifies. But as the tale ends, a mysterious stranger appears, and strange occurrences begin to unfold within the keep. Could the chilling story be true? Did Old Mary inadvertently unleash the evil of The Winter Tale upon the village? Cree dismisses such notions as mere superstition, but when some in the keep, including Old Mary and Elsa the healer, fall ill, even he begins to question. He knows it won't be long before Dawn, determined as ever, seeks out the truth—perhaps placing herself in grave danger. Is this stranger merely a traveler seeking shelter from the storm, or is he the phantom from The Winter Tale come to life?
