With a 5-star rating on Goodreads, the fourth fantasy novel from C. M. Skiera, Plea to a Frozen God, is now available in eBook and paperback on Amazon.

Prince Ligo endured a troubled engagement. Betrothed to a foreigner to save a realm abandoned by their god, the prince suffers a seizure during a sacred hunt, and awakens to see his fiancée’s family usurp the volcano-menaced realm. Indeed, Prince Ligo has seen better days.

When the enigmatic Mystic Riggan rescues Prince Ligo from the deadly coup, she leads him on a pilgrimage to the cryptic God of Death’s secret sanctum. Fugitives in the frigid wilds, the beleaguered duo conscripts a badly wounded soldier to help them survive. Pursuing answers to what truly ails the realm, the misfit trio discovers more ancient mysteries at their journey’s end. They also find the beginnings of a home and family like none they’d ever known.

What advanced reviewers are saying about Plea to a Frozen God:

"C.M. Skiera is back with more fabulous fantasy reading with heart, unlikely heroes and a quest for a truth that could save their realm from the treachery all around them. PLEA TO A FROZEN GOD unfolds to conflict and intrigue with characters that are so well-rounded, they come to life off the pages and the story never lets up once it’s out of the gate.

Each scene is vividly depicted, and I felt like I was there, watching as each act played out, felling the pain, the frustration, the joy and the determination to do what’s right, regardless of the betrayals that run rampant. Follow a disillusioned, wounded soldier, a mysterious Mystic and healer, and a young prince with a mysterious illness as they search for the answers to save their realm and their people. 

From the first page, I was hooked. C. M. Skiera writes with a believable, flowing hand that never gets bogged down or drags out. A wonderful read that doesn’t disappoint!"

"I thoroughly enjoyed the book 'Plea to a Frozen God.' There is a perfect blend of intensity and calm. I was never overwhelmed with the action (intense and exciting), dialogue (pulls you in as if you're part of the discussion), scene description (I tend to skip these in many books, but his were never too long or overly 'technical' but give a real feel of the space), or anything. He is accomplished at maintaining a perfect balance through all facets of writing."
