When her father dies nobly in battle, fourteen-year-old Thirrin
becomes Queen of the Icemark, a tiny kingdom forever caught between
dangerous neighbours.

Thirrin must raise an army to protect her people from seemingly
invincible Imperial invaders. Her search for allies takes her beyond
her northern borders, to former enemies in The-Land-of-the-Ghosts
and onwards to the frozen Hub-of-the-World.

But can she save her kingdom in time?

10- to 14-year-olds'
