For four years, King Ligred’s rule has been declining. He grows volatile, unforgiving of opposition and certain of victory over the renegade Thane holed up in Dreikjil. But four years besieging an unbreakable fortress have taken a toll on the kingdom. He yearns to restore the valorous ages, days of glorious battles and innumerable heroes. All the while, his subjects yearn only to see their sons and fathers again. In attempting to resurrect the gilded past, Ligred turns his own people against him. Morgnson, an advisor to the King, has forseen the end of his reign. He his fellow advisors plot how they might sway Ligred from continuing the siege. Already some have been punished for speaking too honestly, and the King grows less trusting. As Morgnson’s safety as advisor becomes less certain, so too does the line between prudence and cowardice. Set at the turning of the Fourth Age, Green on the Snow is a tale that pursues courage, wisdom, and the qualities of a just leader against the backdrop of a kingdom whose leaves have begun to fall. Filled with political intrigue, conflicts of the heart and mind, and contrasts in innocence and corruption, the novel is ultimately human.
