I continuously forget what this book I read a few years back was called. It was the first in a series, I think, and the others had yet to come out so I forgot about it. It was a fantasy book from a few years back.

It was set in a winter setting and featured various clans, very celtic like. Long house meetings and such. The main character, I think, went by the name of Raven. He was beginning to develope a mystic-like ability to hunt by sensing the heartbeats of an animal/person from a distance and being able to shoot an arrow into it. He had a brother who was a war hero or some such, I think.

There was also a city in the story, which had an evil patriarch kind of guy. And it flashed to a huge tower every so often where the evil patriarch had kept a man in solitude for years and years stuck far underground and he had odd revelations and visions. I think he managed to get free at the end of the book.

Anyway, that's all I can really gather. It was a pretty neat book and i'd like to re-read it and follow up on the series if I could figure out what the hell it was.

J V Jones' totally grim and frostbitten series starting with A Cavern Of Black Ice.

Wow, I can't believe I actually managed to identify one of these!

Thank you so much! I've ordered the trilogy from amazon! That was bugging me for years hah.

Edit: Good LORD, the shipping on them was 3 times as much as the books were! To hell with that, i'll hit up some used book stores.
