Theodore Lockheart will forge his barony's future one innovation at a time, or watch it freeze in the old ways forever.

Having thwarted a cult's attempt to summon an Outer God, Theodore now faces another enemy: winter. With him growing stronger and his border territory finally stable, Theodore barely has time mastering the intricacies of noble leadership when necessity forces his hand. Venturing into a neighboring barony to secure rare ores, broker deals with another baron, clear slime-infested mines, and face down both human and monster enemies alike, Theodore has his hands full of work.

But securing ore is only the beginning. Theodore races against time to construct bathhouses, kilns, and winter infrastructure while leveling his skills and perfecting his runic abilities. Creating modern inventions is the last of his worries, however, as the Barbarian Princess leading a violent coup arrives at his gates, bringing foreign troubles and unexpected alliances.
