Frozen Memories: Book 2 from The Age of Scars
See all books by David J. Hodges
About The Book
The Unmaking has merely mutated. Its second symptom arrives not as a scorching rot, but as a creeping, predatory frost that devours the past. When the chronomancer Seraphina uncovers the chilling movements of the Mor-kin across the northern wastes, a fractured fellowship must march back into the biting dark.
Gundroff Ragingfire, a dwarven zealot who has forgotten what he is, leads the descent. Beside them walk Thaddeus, an enigmatic monk harboring primeval words that taste of bedrock, and Ankle Shanker, a goblin scavenger.
Their quarry is the Demon General Manduklesh. His prize is the Crown of Frozen Memories. To stop the demon from using this parasitic artifact to siphon the history from the world, the fellowship must survive blinding blizzards, ancient glacial crypts, and the aristocratic cruelty of the Sable Hand Inquisition.
If they fail, the winter to come will not just freeze the flesh. It will erase them completely.
About The Author
I’m David J. Hodges, and I’ve spent my entire life lost in the sprawling worlds of high fantasy. The sprawl of Tolkien, the harsh morality of Martin, and the cosmic dread of Lovecraft built the first stones of my passion. For years, I spun an ongoing epic at the gaming table for my family, weaving the complex narrative that became The Age of Scars.
The book might have remained a private legend, but my wife, Stacia, set the forge alight. This novel became a deep dive into the very fears my grandfather once shared: the slow terror of time, memory, and being forgotten, the concept beats the heart of this series.
I built worlds, not from a classroom, but from the tradition my father began, weaving tales of dragons and lost heroes around Utah campfires. Today, I anchor my writing in the rugged, natural beauty of those mountains. When the words stop flowing, I find my balance in tabletop games, exploring the wilderness, and with my family.
“Building a fantasy world isn’t about escaping reality; it’s about discovering fundamental truths you couldn’t see before.”
