Within moments of his escape pod crash-landing in a night-clad frozen forest, musician Asher Hollin is frostbitten, bleeding, a thief, and a killer. If not for technology looted from a dead prison guard, he’d be long dead, either from hypothermia or from being attacked by battleaxe-wielding not-quite-human marauders.
Without hope of rescue from those he'd fled, there's only one choice: keep going. Fight. Survive for those who didn't. Somewhere out there is food, shelter, civilization. Indeed, just as the darkness threatens to consume him, help comes from an initially unwilling source.
Compassion and a yearning for companionship spark an unlikely relationship, but a lack of understanding of language and culture endangers Ash and everyone around him.
Inspired by the tale of Ragnarök and its harbinger, Fimbulvinter’s Fires combines queer love stories with first-contact sci-fi, survivalism horror, and apocalyptic tragedy.
This snowpocalypse contains violence and death, steamy scenes, strong language, deep snow, and high heat. Tread carefully.
