Fantasy, Lore, & More: The Path of Frozen Fire

Hi, I’m indie fantasy author, Melinda Kucsera, and in this episode, Matt Langford joined me to talk about his fantasy book, The Path of Frozen Fire.What’s it about?The Path has never allowed anyone to return...For generations, the ashen of Promised Vale have survived by sending one champion each year up the Path.At the summit, above the cloudline, waits the Devourer, a monster no village champion has ever defeated. If no one ascends, it comes down to feast. Riven has spent his life serving the Keepers who enforce this law. As captain of the village guardians, he protects Promised Vale from the scalehound packs that hunt beyond its walls and carries out the Keepers’ orders to preserve the village’s peace and prosperity. He has never questioned the sacred oaths that bind him to their command.But, on his wedding day, the Keepers halt the ceremony and name his bride as the next champion.Riven is ordered to stand aside as his beloved is sent up the Path, never to return. To resist the Keepers would mean betraying his rank, defying the men under his command, and breaking the sacred oaths that have shaped his life. To obey would mean surrendering her to the Devourer.Now Riven is forced to choose between remaining faithful to the village he has sworn to protect, or abandoning everything to follow her up the Path of Frozen Fire.Where to get the book: Audible: https://www.audible.com/pd/The-Path-of-Frozen-Fire-Audiobook/B0HG8J43VXEchomeris.comWhere to find our guest: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/matt.langford.author?igsh=MnJqc2JwdXp0Yzh1&utm_source=qrTik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@matt.langford?_r=1&_t=ZP-98BGFAeq1BGWhere to find your host:Melinda’s website: https://melindakucsera.com/Melinda’s Substack: https://www.melinda-kucsera.com/embed
