Description
Summary
Just as chilly as it sounds Snow-Walker is an epic fantasy tale, centering around the enchantress Gudrun and her son Kari — whom she banishes at birth to a fortress in the desolate north to ensure her continued reign over her husband's jarldom. As Gudrun's tyranny increases, two cousins are exiled to the same fortress, hoping that what they find there — whether beast, monster, human, or sorcerer — will be something they can use to defeat Gudrun and her increasing power over the land and people.

Reviews
I absolutely loved this book. I read it over the holidays, and once I had a few minutes to really get into it, I didn't want to put it down (and often I didn't — even for meals). Magic, treachery, outlaws, creatures, trolls, quests — this book has it all. A fantastic piece of storytelling! - esme
