Gifted with supernatural talent in the arts, Artists are wealthy, respected - almost worshiped. A glittering, easy existence that makes it easy to forget such a gift comes at terrible cost. Mizna knows that cost well. It's why she hides the evidence of her own Artistic abilities - nursing the vain hope that she can avoid the same fate that awaits her father. When her mother finds her lifelike sketches, however, she can't hide anymore. Now she must journey north for training, to hone her unnatural talent among others like her. But the road north is fraught with surprise perils. When a book falls unexpectedly into her possession, she finds herself the target of a tribe of failed royalty from the south. They want the book - and they'll kill her to get it. Into The Icy Dark is the first in a quintet of novels. Set in a vivid new fantasy world, this engaging first-person adventure is ripe with emotion, and features a main character's struggles with childhood trauma.
