Book Synopsis
From one of the most exciting voices in dark fantasy comes a sweeping story of a soldier on a brutal quest to preserve her kingdom's future.
She was their hope, their martyr, their brother....
Driwna Marghoster, a soldier for the powerful merchant guild known as the Post, is defending her trade caravan from a vicious bandit attack when she discovers a dead body hidden in one of her wagons. Born of the elusive Oskoro people, the body is a rare and priceless find, the center of a tragic tale, and the key to a larger mystery.
As she investigates who the body was meant for, Driwna finds herself on a path paved by deceit and corruption...and it will lead her to an evil more powerful than she can possibly imagine.

Review Quotes
"Not your typical grimdark fantasy....While it's a complex tale, this is also an immensely readable one, and should appeal to fans of the immersive world-building of Brandon Sanderson. Selby constructs his world on a personal, visceral level, making sure we feel everything that happens to the narrators."--B&N SciFi and Fantasy Blog on Snakewood
"Selby demonstrates the command of style, character, plotting, and world building of a seasoned author."--Booklist on Snakewood
"Teyr's ambition and endurance are admirable, her goal is refreshingly mundane and pragmatic, and Selby has crafted a deeply imagined world."--Publishers Weekly on The Winter Road
"Lovers of grimdark worlds will enjoy Selby's unique setting and brutal action sequences."--Publishers Weekly
