Pupil or rival? Ally or enemy? Brother or son?

Seventeen years ago, Corwynal sacrificed his dreams to become his half-brother Trystan's guardian and tutor. He's determined to turn him into everything he'd longed to be himself – a charismatic warrior and a king in waiting.

But Trystan doesn't want to be a king; he just wants to be a hero. So when war erupts in the Lands between the Walls, he throws himself into the conflict. If Corwynal's to protect the boy he loves like a son, he’ll have to emerge from the shadows, take up the sword once more, and win a war he doesn’t want to fight.

Victory, however, comes at a heavy cost, when Trystan's growing independence - and the choices he makes - anger, disgust and terrify Corwynal. Yet only when Trystan accepts a challenge likely to destroy them both, will the bond between them be truly tested. If they’re to survive, that bond will have to prove fiercer than love, stronger than blood, more powerful than death.

The first in The Trystan Trilogy, a retelling of the doomed story of Tristan and Isolde, The Wolf in Winter is a thrilling journey into the heart of a man riven by secrets, set amidst the warring kingdoms of dark-age Scotland.
