    About this ebook

    Ten-year-old Mica hates the cold. Yet he’s bound by duty—and prophecy—to rule over the City of Winter as his grandfather’s heir. All signs seem to indicate that something is wrong and the reappearance of the Yuki-Onna in the Painted Hall is an additional worrisome detail...

    The Flame of the North (North #2) follows Danis & Hana’s son as he attempts to fulfil the last portion of Dragon’s Prophecy.

      The day after his tenth birthday, Mica was told that he was going to live with his grandfather.

      But Grandpa is there, Ma, he protested, pointing at the little boat that floated in the middle of the sea, as it did almost every day.

      That’s your father’s father, Hana explained. You will be sent to stay with my father.

      His eyes widened. He hadn’t realised that he had another set of grandparents, though it made sense now that he thought about it. But why? he asked, wondering if it was something he had done.
