Malediction Song — James LaFond

More than 500 years after an attempt to counter global warming via the deployment of solar shield satellites plunged Earth into a precipitous Ice Age, the rapid cooling of mankind's habitat is no longer a subject for debate, but rather a question of faith. As the crusading order of the Maledictine Creed seek to cleanse Mankind of its voluminous guilt and wash the world of sin, those men who have heard the call of the Old Gods sung by the North Wind seek a savage reckoning. This is the brutal prequel to Reverent Chandler: The Saga of Fend, told in three parts: Malediction Song: Rise of the NordsHammer of the Cumber Clans: The Patrimony of EstThe First Cull: The Patrimony of Fend
