Ice (The Wintering Book 1)
Kell has always dreamed of the world beyond the Enclave and imagined a life of freedom where he could choose his own path.
Yet the Enclave is safe and harmonious. Ruled by the All Mother, it has protected the Community from the endless frozen dark and from the fury of the Ice Demon for thousands of years.
Those living in the Enclave are led to believe that the All Mother is a benevolent and worldly leader who would never let Kell or any of her people come to harm.
But Kell is restless and stifled by the doctrines of the Enclave. He wonders what lies outside this world and begins to ask questions. Too many questions. Dangerous questions.
The teachings of the All Mother are sacred and to doubt her is treacherous. Even his beloved friend Shamra thinks he should silence his thoughts of escape for his own protection.
There are people watching, knowing and hearing all the time.
Soon Kell hears whispers of a rebellion against the All Mother. Whispers of liberation. Whispers of possibility.
To be disconnected could be a dream, or a nightmare.
Kell realises there is only one way to find out.
Storm (The Wintering Book 2)
Kell has left the Enclave of his childhood where he was nurtured, protected and controlled by the stifling presence of the All Mother – escaping into a wonderful but terrifying new world…
A world of intense cold and blizzards, yet one of stunning beauty: a world of animals that have survived the cruelties of the ice for countless centuries: a world of people who struggle to prevail through incredible hardships – yet who now face obliteration in the teeth of a gathering storm.
By an accident of fate Kell now runs with the Wulfen, the massive and fiercely intelligent descendants of wolves. He has spilled his blood with them: he has found kinship.
But kinship comes at a price.
For now Kell must confront a mortal enemy, the mythical Slaughterer of the Wulfen…
Follow Kell and his new friends and foes on a riveting journey in ‘Storm’, a tale of gruelling battles with grotesque monsters and foes and of a people struggling to reclaim their homeland.
Thaw (The Wintering Book 3)
In the third and final part of major trilogy ‘The Wintering’, Kell fights fiercely for a new world. The enchanting possibility of freedom is now within reach, yet Kell knows that death lurks around every corner.
Despite all that he has done and witnessed he is still only a boy. He has destroyed the city of Thule, the immense weight of one of the massive metal sky orbs sent crashing down on the city by his merest thought.
Kell is still only a player in the ancient enigma of the Weird’s game. The web of obstacles is vast and the only way to find a way through the Weird’s mysteries is to trust to his feelings. Kell must follow his instincts and stand firm no matter how terrifying the battle becomes.
The biggest obstacle of all, the All Mother, is not defeated.
Kell must return to Perth, the enclave where he grew up, stifled by the false warmth and lies of the All Mother and face his oldest enemy.
Only by making this perilous journey can he finally be free…
Thaw is the final instalment of Stephen Bowkett’s thrilling Wintering Trilogy, following the adventures of Kell through a dangerous and mystic fantasy world.
