It feels like Wolf Brother all over again. The sun is dead. Face the cold. The dark. The magic. Michelle’s writing is so powerful you can practically see the muscles ripple. The fury of the gods. Plague and famine. She’s pulled out all the stops. A volcano killed the sun, shrouding the sky in ash. Now the frozen darkness comes. Fate brings Hylas to the island of Keftiu. He is desperate to find his friends: Pirra and Havoc the lion cub. But winter is unrelenting. Sickness and hunger ravage the land. Hylas is tormented by dread. Can his friends really have survived?
