Frostpunk Divine Throne Novel

In a post-Victorian world ravaged by catastrophic cold, a once-thriving steam civilization lies buried beneath ice and snow. A bishop named Cyren Delante is transferred to the frozen northern frontier, where he must navigate the harsh landscape of blizzards and apocalypse to build a fortress of faith and lead desperate people toward salvation. Despite his lofty titles—Bishop of Spessay Diocese, Prayer-bringer of the Seven Northern Cities, and Gatekeeper of Eden—Cyren insists he is no shepherd. Rather, he describes himself as a displaced psychoanalyst forced into re-employment, seeking to find meaning in a world of frost and ruin. Yet his roles multiply: he stands as enemy to the Frost Giants, keeper of the Old Civilization's secrets, spiritual mentor to legendary knights and grand mages, and psychological guide to kings, popes, the poor, and wanderers alike. Through these varied identities, he struggles to reclaim power and guide the lost through mercury and steam toward hope.
