Official synopsis Publisher
The best explorers speak of a power that lives within nature. Not everyone can see it, not everyone can feel it, but it’s there, and it’s dying…
Seeing is believing. That was the world as Levi understood it. But when a young boy goes missing around a mysterious frozen lake, the lone cartographer gets drawn to the edge of a hidden world. A world of stubborn townsfolk, ruthless industry and a stream that never freezes.
Meanwhile, the missing boy, Sigmund, attends a journey of his own. At the hands of a frozen Viking come to life, Sigmund is shown the power of his ancestral inheritance. But that power is fading, and the terrible mark of frostbite is closing in.
The age of exploration is still very much alive in the 1800s, but Levi and Sigmund must both put their convictions aside if their Arctic world stands any hope of surviving…
A.D. Downton’s debut novel holds the core theme of caring for the natural world throughout the story. It’s omniscient nature, mixed with cinematic scene-setting and dialogue, creates a cozy-fantasy universe that children, teens and adults can all feel a part of.
