Throughout the month I’ll have authors, book bloggers, […]

Cold Fire is the second book in the Spiritwalker trilogy by Kate Elliott, following Cold Magic. The next book in the series will be Cold Steel.

If you’re interested in reading about the series starting from the beginning, here’s my Cold Magic review. While I did find that one […]
