About the book

Frostgrave is a fantasy novel centered on the frozen ruins of Felstad, an ancient city recently uncovered by thawing magical ice. The story follows a pair of rival wizards as they lead small bands of mercenaries and apprentices into the derelict streets to recover lost grimoires and arcane relics. Navigating a landscape populated by undead guardians and predatory monsters, the characters must manage depleted resources and violent skirmishes. The plot focuses on the tactical decisions required to survive the city’s lethal architecture while racing to secure powerful artifacts buried beneath centuries of snow.

This book is written for tabletop wargamers and fans of dark fantasy who value gritty, small-scale skirmish narratives. Readers choose this title to understand the atmosphere and history behind the miniature game of the same name. It provides a detailed look at the dangers of magical greed and the logistics of urban scavenging. By the end, the reader gains a concrete sense of the setting’s geography and the high mortality rate inherent in the pursuit of forgotten sorcery.
