Publisher Description
A magical wintry story filled with adventure, wonder and edge-of-your-seat excitement, this is the perfect read for fans of Michelle Harrison, Piers Torday and Emma Carroll.
‘Once an adventure digs its claws in, there is not an awful lot you can do about it. Especially when magic is involved . . .’
In the snowy kingdom of Erkenwald, whales glide between icebergs, wolves hunt on the tundra and polar bears roam the glaciers. But the people of this land aren’t so easy to find - because Erkenwald is ruled by an evil Ice Queen and the tribes must stay hidden or risk becoming her prisoners at Winterfang Palace.
Join Eska, a girl who breaks free from a cursed music box, and Flint, a boy whose inventions could change the fate of Erkenwald forever, as they journey to the Never Cliffs and beyond in search of an ancient, almost forgotten, song with the power to force the Ice Queen back.
This is a story about an eagle huntress, an inventor and an organ made of icicles. But it is also a story about belonging, even at the very edges of our world . . .

Customer Reviews
Sky song
It was great I really enjoyed it!!!
I found it a bit confusing at the beginning
But apart from that....
Brilliant
Stunning story-telling
I bought this as an e-book while sat in hospital with a poorly 6 year old. The waiting was killing us and he couldn’t bear a screen so I bought a book.
We sat in that room and I read to him, and the magic of the story, the richness of the language and gravitating appeal of the characters saw us through a rubbish night.
Well worth a read for adults and children alike.
Amazing
I don’t read the e-book but I bought the book on Amazon.In my opinion its a great book I love the adventures part.its a VERY creative book keep up the work!
