Five
stories tell of a world teetering on the brink of chaos. Five people who fight to dream, to love, to
scheme, and to survive. Five glimpses
into a time when a life was shaped by spirits just as much as the sword. It is a world where the lines between a truth
and a lie, life and death, and love and obsession shift like the wind.
The
Northern Problem and Other Stories offer a glimpse into the lives of those that
would later come together in The Spring and Autumn Murders. Before passion, murder and intrigue would
bring them together, the very same would threaten to tear their world apart.
