The second novel in the thrilling and epic new fantasy series from the
international bestselling author of Red Sister and Prince of
Thorns.
On the planet Abeth there is only the ice. And the Black Rock.
For generations the priests of the Black Rock have reached out from
their mountain to steer the fate of the ice tribes. With their Hidden
God, their magic and their iron, the priests' rule has never been
questioned. But when ice triber Yaz challenged their authority, she was
torn away from the only life she had ever known, and forced to find a
new path for herself.
Yaz has lost her friends and found her enemies. She has a mountain to
climb, and even if she can break the Hidden God's power, her dream of a
green world lies impossibly far to the south, across a vast emptiness of
ice. Before the journey can even start, she has to find out what
happened to the ones she loves and save those that can be saved.
Abeth holds its secrets close, but the stars shine brighter for Yaz and
she means to unlock the truth.
