Set in the snowy northern forests of a prehistoric world, Fireborn is the middle-grade debut of the decade. By turns exciting, funny and heart wrenchingly sad, it marks the introduction of an unstoppable new voice in children’s storytelling.
Twelve has become a hunter and chosen a new name to reflect her elemental power: Phoenix.
Three months after the destruction of the Hunting Lodge, a witch arrives from the frost palace of Icegaard, desperate for Phoenix’s help. Icegaard is in grave danger from an evil force called the Shadowseam, and if the witch-palace falls, all the clans of Ember will fall with it. Travelling north, Phoenix and her friends, Five, Six and Seven, must battle frightening new monsters and find a way to defeat the Shadowseam.
But as Phoenix learns to control her new power, the faceless Croke begins to haunt her dreams . . .
Phoenix will have to fight with everything she’s got to save Ember from mortal danger. But the price of survival may be more than she can pay.
