    About this ebook

    Bran has a Power, and he is driven out of his tribe because of it. The Ice is melting - the world is changing, and babies are being born with new Powers that nobody understands - but there are some in this new world who want to make use of the new Powers, and the people who wield them, for their own purposes.

    I work in a bookshop in Hay-on-Wye, the Town of secondhand Books, but I was trained as an archaeologist, and worked mainly in medieval archaeology. More recently, I've become interested in the world of Steampunk.
