FROSTBITTEN
FOREWORD
As a Swede, the world of Trudvang has been with me for quite
some time, since I was a small boy. Through all the years of
living with that world, it always seemed to me as if the season
of winter was when it came the most alive. Snow has an almost
magical quality to it, so too has the midwinter darkness and the
frosted fir trees of Swedish countryside where I have spent most
of my winters. It was always during that season that I returned
to those old books - to Jorgi’s Bestiary, the tales of Stormi and
the legends of Blodughadda and Snowsaga. So, perhaps it is no
surprise that this story is all about winter. The magic of winter,
the danger of winter and the mystery of winter. It took a long
time to write, even though it might seem simple enough to you,
the reader, now as you read it. I am pleased with it such as it is
and I hope that you will enjoy adventuring in the Wildland and
discovering the secrets of the Wolf Woods.
This is my contribution to the winter sagas - and this one is
about Trudvang. Happy playing.
Max Herngren.
“Cattle die and kinsmen die,
thyself too soon must die,
but one thing never,
I ween, will die, --
the doom on each one dead.”

Our style is to use “they” as a singular gender-neutral pronoun
when possible. This usage continues to gain mainstream
acceptance, including among major style guides such as The
Associated Press Stylebook and The Chicago Manual of Style.
We believe it is appropriate and practical, not just to reflect
common usage but to accommodate a more inclusive view of
gender identity. The Trudvang Chronicles books also use “he”
or “she” when helpful for added clarity.
