Books like Winter Witch by Elaine Cunningham
In a harsh northern village, a newborn child is marked by a strange spirit and rejected by her tribe. She is rescued by the enigmatic winter witches of Irrisen, a land trapped in endless frost. When Ellasif’s sister goes missing, the shield maiden is forced to confront her own cold‑hearted warriors. Joined by Declan, a mischievous mapmaker who has begun producing gold‑strike maps, they journey south toward Whitethrone—a city of trolls, wolves, and towering ice walls. Together they battle monsters, wield magic, and face the dark forces intent on the lost child.
Set in the world of the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game, this tale blends swordplay, sorcery, and the harsh realities of a frozen frontier.
