But since reluctantly assuming the mantle of one of seven guardians of humanity—for Gideon a perplexing and occasionally unwelcome “honor” bestowed upon him by fate—he’s been shocked by how many lost souls he’s supposed to protect want him dead.
Gideon is the first new guardian chosen in ages, and being the first doesn’t make things any easier. Humanity is in crisis—beset on all sides by evil, avaricious forces bent on total global enslavement—but in addition to having to learn all his new powers and figure out how to use them, Gideon must also identify and recruit the six other guardians who will help him save mankind.
How to identify them? Gideon doesn’t know. If he does somehow locate the rest of them, how is he supposed to convince these six other everyday people of their grand cosmic destiny and indispensable role in the salvation of the planet? Without them thinking he’s crazy? Again, Gideon doesn’t know.
What he does know is his presence and newfound powers have attracted the attention of some very bad, very powerful people. Apparently, leaders of some of the oldest, most venerated institutions on earth want him dead—before he’s able to assemble his team. That sordid fact begs other, more troubling questions, for Gideon and for humanity.
A man of faith and perseverance, Gideon believes in the proverb that to whom much is given, much is required, but surely the gods could give him an occasional push in the right direction. Before it’s too late.
USA Today best-selling author Ernest Dempsey returns with the third gripping installment of his fan-favorite Gideon Wolf series. With Dempsey’s signature blend of history, myth, and mystery, the ultimate fate of Gideon Wolf will be as shocking as his destiny.

What happens next is an explosive and non stop action to find the next Guardian.
The story and Gideon's character just continues to grow along with his powers.
Fantastic book, brilliant series. Looking forward to the next adventure. -
The best of the Gideon Wolf series
Crimson Winter, the third book in the Gideon wolf series, is not just the best book in the series, it is one of Ernest Dempsey’s best books. Crimson Winter doesn’t just have a strong story line, it incorporates so much mythology, history, and geography. I felt like I was traveling through the past and experiencing each of the locations Gideon and Vero found themselves in. additionally, I loved how Mr. Dempsey wove a philosophical element into this story by using the voice in Gideon’s head to try to provide useful knowledge. If you are new to the Gideon Wolf books, this is not a stand-alone story, you owe it to yourself to start from book one – Emergence – and follow Gideon’s journey. I received an advance reader copy from the author and chose to provide this review. -
