A magical wintry storyย filled with adventure, wonder and edge-of-your-seat excitement, this is the perfect read forย fans of Michelle Harrison, Piers Torday and Emma Carroll.
โOnce an adventure digs its claws in, there is not an awful lot you can do about it.ย Especially when magic is involved . . .โ
ย
In the snowy kingdom of Erkenwald, whales glide between icebergs, wolves huntย on the tundra and polar bears roam the glaciers.ย But the people of this land arenโt so easy to find -ย because Erkenwald is ruled by an evilย Ice Queen and the tribes must stay hidden orย risk becoming her prisoners at Winterfang Palace.
Join Eska, a girl who breaks free from a cursed music box, and Flint, a boyย whose inventions could change the fate of Erkenwald forever, as theyย journey to the Never Cliffs and beyond in search of an ancient, almost forgotten, song withย the power to force the Ice Queen back.
ย
This is a story about an eagleย huntress, an inventor and an organ made of icicles. But it is also a storyย about belonging, even at the very edges of our world . . .
