Description

A peasant girl like Kate Carpenter could never hope to serve her homeland as much -- but her healing magic has earned her a coveted apprenticeship. Now her skills are needed on a mission that must cross the ice-bound mountains.

"This isn’t the land of unicorns and fairy castles – characters die, nations war and betray, and everything has a price to be paid. More than that, it’s thoughtful, a fantasy that gets down to the nitty-gritty of figuring out the if/then that the premise implies, making for crunchy, satisfying fantasy fare."
