      De wereld van de zeventienjarige Viking-dochter Eelyn bestaat uit oorlog voeren. Ze weet niet anders dan dat ze samen met haar clan, de Aska, telkens weer strijdt tegen hun grootste vijand, de Riki. Haar leven is wreed, maar eenvoudig: vechten en overleven. Totdat ze op het slagveld het onmogelijke ziet: haar broer die meevecht met de Riki. De broer die ze vijf jaar geleden zag sterven. Eelyn wordt gevangengenomen en moet als slaaf overwinteren in de bergen bij de Riki. Maar als ze zichzelf begint te herkennen in de mensen die ze altijd heeft geleerd te haten, brokkelt de wereld die ze zo goed dacht te kennen langzaam af. Wanneer het dorp wordt aangevallen door een meedogenloze derde clan, moet Eelyn Fiske vertrouwen, de vriend van haar broer die haar meerdere keren heeft geprobeerd te vermoorden. Samen moeten ze een einde maken aan de bloedvete tussen de Aska en de Riki, anders zullen ze moeten toekijken hoe hun mensen worden afgeslacht. De hemel in het ijs is een meeslepend historisch avontuur geïnspireerd op het tijdperk van de Vikingen, over loyaliteit, vergeving en de definitie van familie.

      The Storyteller's Workbook
    • As a boy, Elias learned the hard way what happens when you don’t heed the old tales. Nine years after his lack of superstition got his father killed, he’s grown into a young man of piety, with a deep reverence for the hallowed sea and her fickle favor. As stories of the fisherman’s son who has managed to escape the most deadly of storms spreads from port to port, his devotion to the myths and creeds has given him the reputation of the luckiest bastard to sail the Narrows. Now, he’s mere days away from getting everything his father ever dreamed for him: a ship of his own, a crew, and a license that names him as one of the first Narrows-born traders. But when a young dredger from the Unnamed Sea with more than one secret crosses his path, Elias’ faith will be tested like never before. The greater the pull he feels toward her, the farther he drifts from the things he’s spent the last three years working for. He is dangerously close to repeating his mistakes and he’s seen first hand how vicious the jealous sea can be. If he’s going to survive her retribution, he will have to decide which he wants more, the love of the girl who could change their shifting world, or the sacred beliefs that earned him the name that he’s known for—Saint.

      In the small mountain town of Jasper, North Carolina, June Farrow is waiting for fate to find her. The Farrow women are known for their thriving flower farm--and the mysterious curse that has plagued their family line. The whole town remembers the madness that led to Susanna Farrow's disappearance, leaving June to be raised by her grandmother and haunted by rumors. It's been a year since June started seeing and hearing things that weren't there. Faint wind chimes, a voice calling her name, and a mysterious door appearing out of nowhere-the signs of what June always knew was coming. But June is determined to end the curse once and for all, even if she must sacrifice finding love and having a family of her own. After her grandmother's death, June discovers a series of cryptic clues regarding her mother's decades-old disappearance, except they only lead to more questions. But could the door she once assumed was a hallucination be the answer she's been searching for? The next time it appears, June realizes she can touch it and walk past the threshold. And when she does, she embarks on a journey that will not only change both the past and the future, but also uncover the lingering mysteries of her small town and entangle her heart in an epic star-crossed love.
