Description

The Revenant meets True Grit with a magical twist in this thrilling and atmospheric debut fantasy about two teens who must brave a frozen wasteland and the foes within it to save their loved ones and uncover a deadly secret.

The answer to what freezes first is the eyes. That aint what most people would guess.

Everyone in Shadow Springs knows that no one survives crossing the Flats. But the threat of a frozen death has never deterred the steady stream of treasure hunters searching for a legendary prize hidden somewhere in the vast expanse of ice. Jorie thinks theyre all fools, which makes scavenging their possessions easier. Its how she and her sister, Brenna, survive.

Then Jorie scavenges off the wrong body. When the dead mans enemy believes Jorie took something valuable from the body, he kidnaps Brenna as collateral. He tells Jorie that if she wants her sister back, shell have to trade her for the item he thinks she stole. But how can Jorie make a trade when she doesnt even know what shes looking for

Her only source of information is Cody, the dead mans nephew and a scholar from the South whos never been hardened by the harsh conditions of the North. Though Jories reluctant to bring a city boy out onto the Flats with her, shell do whatever it takes to save her sister. But anything can happen out on the ice, and soon Jorie and Cody find they need one another more than they ever imaginedand theyll have to trust each other to survive threats beyond their darkest nightmares.
