"...a fun, exciting finish to Nichols's trilogy." - Publishers Weekly Studies in Demonology: Book Three Sheets of ice are spreading across the human world, ushering in an ice age as the magic drained from Demonside turns that world into a desert. Angus and reluctant warlock Terrance have defected from Vinland to the Mayan Empireâa land of dark and potent magic. But the Mayans aren't offering sanctuary for free. Nor is the world willing to stand back as Vinland attacks, and the backlash will affect all magic users. Mage Saka has no tribe. He is now just another refugee fleeing the dying Demonside. He knows the conflict brewing now will be worse than the first demon war. Countries are banding togetherânot just against Vinland, but against all magic. Where will the powerful Mayan Empire stand? Angus might have the power to fight Vinland and the Warlock College, but the cost will be terrible. Saka is torn between helping Angus and stopping him. And Terrance would do anything for Angus, but he's terrified of the man Angus is becoming, even as Saka is warming to the idea of a relationship between the three of them. No matter what choice they make, victory will be bittersweet, and when the ash settles and the snow melts, nothing will be the same.
