Reviews "Unique and intriguing, and its atmosphere unwaveringly compelling." -- Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) "Raif Severance and Ash March ... are becoming one of the more compelling couples in modern high fantasy....

Edition DescriptionRevised edition

SynopsisIn the sequel to A Cavern of Black Ice, Ash March joins the last of the mysterious, mythological Sull to help prepare them for the coming war, while Raif, an outlaw and outcast, continues the journey to find the Fortress of Grey Ice and destroy the Endlords. Reprint., "Wonderful . . . J.V. Jones is a striking writer." So says Robert Jordan, the author of The Wheel of Time epic fantasy series. And Jones lives up to that praise in the highly charged epic adventure of Ash March and Raif Sevrance, two outcasts whose fates are entwined by fate and by need, in the cold, dark world that threatens to be torn asunder by a war to end all wars. They are but two of many who fight the dreaded Endlords, but both Ash and Raif are special in unique ways that isolate them, yet which also enable them to perform heroic acts that might save their world. Raif, wrongly accused and cut off from his clan by the treachery of their new headsman, has a talent for killing that is part of his curse and his burden. But he bears another burden of greater weight. Ash is a sacred warrior to the Sull, an ancient race whose numbers have declined.Raised as a foundling, she never knew her true heritage, she must learn to accept the terrible gifts of her heritage. But as Ash learns more of her greater fate, Raif's task looms dark and desperate, for he must journey through the nightmare realm of the Want, a place where even the Sull now fear to tread. For deep within the Want is the Fortress of Grey Ice, and there he must heal the breach in the Blindwall that already threatens the world. Should he fail, not even Ash's powers can save them..., In a world being overwhelmed by ice, the forces of evil are released into the world, and characters are forced to make incredible sacrifices to defend the land. Relying on magical powers as well as divine intervention, the woman partly responsible for allowing the evil to be freed sacrifices even her humanity in order to hunt the darkness.
