Book Description

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 an icy 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 focuses on the theme of caring for the natural world, keeping the core issues of our world present throughout the story. The author's omniscient storytelling, mixed with cinematic scene-setting and dialogue, creates an incredible universe that both middle-grade teens and adults can all feel a part of.
