Frostfeld - The Mourning Son

From the writer 2000AD's Judges - The Patriots comes the first book in a new thrilling urban fantasy saga!

Blood hasn’t stained the cobblestones of Château d'os for over a century, but the peace of this French town has just been shattered by a homicide that defies every law of nature. When the local police find a teenager murdered by supernatural means, they have no choice but to call in the Special Inquisitorial Branch—a hard-hitting unit of trained sorcerers who deal with everything from occult threats to extra-terrestrial incursions.

One of the arriving Inquisitors is Phillip Frostfeld, the latest scion of a legendary family whose name is etched into history through duty and sacrifice. However, Frostfeld is a man on the edge, still grieving the recent death of his wife in the line of duty. As he dives into the investigation, he discovers that this isn't just a murder; it’s a flashpoint in an ancient cold war between indifferent, god-like beings who treat human lives as expendable pawns.

In the shadows of the town, the past and present are about to collide in a brutal display of violence:

• The Arsenal: Expect a gritty mix of swinging swords, roaring guns, and scorching majik.
• The Stakes: Vicious agents have been dispatched to the streets of Château d'os, putting the lives and souls of the residents—and potentially the entire world—in the balance.
• The Mission: Frostfeld must learn to forge his grief into a weapon for justice, evolving from a mourning son into a steadfast knight ready for a second chance to protect those who cannot protect themselves.

As blood flows and the city becomes a battleground, one question remains: can a man fueled by loss stop an ancient war before it consumes everything?.
