The Snow-Walker's Son

The Snow Walker's Son is a book of intrigue, banishment, and sorcery, set in an ice-cold winter with an unseen evil eye. Jessa and Thorkil are banished by the evil witch Gudrun to the ice kingdom to the north. Here, they will be incarcerated with Gudrun's son Kari, about whom there are terrible tales. He is rumored to be half-man, half-beast, and is a figure of dread. After an endless journey, Thorkil and Jessa arrive and finally meet Kari. He is not as they feared but is a slight, winsome young man. His only terror is that he, too, has the power, but he is determined to use the magic wisely.
