As a stranger in Gottheim he experiences bitter truths, and redeeming hopes, about himself and the nature of life in God's House.

-In Winter- is the third book in God's House. Here begins increasing mythic qualities as Jasper Mountain comes alive, and nature redounds with fury to her glory. The wild creatures and inhabitants of Gott'im suffer.... And, too, they benefit from the recoil of human erring on a grand scale. When it so happens, in God's House, setting the stage for them to enter into God's Wilderness. God's Wilderness is the completion of The God's Cycle.
