Dreams of Winter: A Forgotten Gods Tale #1 by Christian Warren Freed
MWSA Review
Author Christian Warren Freed has given us an epic science fiction fantasy in his book Dreams of Winter, A Forgotten Gods Tale. Set in a world, a universe, and a time of its own, Freed has gathered together a fascinating group of characters. Mere mortals have to share this story with Blood Witches, sons of gods, strange creatures, and even a Dark Council. The tale Freed spins is a fascinating one that will keep you reading. This is a classic good versus evil story with the lines often blurred. The characters themselves question their purpose, and the outcome is never certain. As the book evolves, the reader can't help but wonder if there is a mystical hand drawing everyone toward a common conclusion. This is a complicated book, but one that true Sci Fi fans will enjoy.

Author's Synopsis
It is a troubled time, for the old gods are returning and they want the universe back…
Under the rigid guidance of the Conclave, the seven hundred known worlds carve out a new empire with the compassion and wisdom the gods once offered. But a terrible secret, known only to the most powerful, threatens to undo three millennia of progress. The gods are not dead at all. They merely sleep. And they are being hunted.
Senior Inquisitor Tolde Breed is sent to the planet Crimeat to investigate the escape of one of the deadliest beings in the history of the universe: Amongeratix, one of the fabled THREE, sons of the god-king. Tolde arrives on a world where heresy breeds insurrection and war is only a matter of time. Aided by Sister Abigail of the Order of Blood Witches, and a company of Prekhauten Guards, Tolde hurries to find Amongeratix and return him to Conclave custody before he can restart his reign of terror.
What he doesn’t know is that the Three are already operating on Crimeat.
