In an adventure story filled with an atmospheric sense of place, Siri finds herself involved in her uncle's daring plan to free their people, banished years ago to a frozen settlement. The king has promised to lift the ban if an exotic ice bear is brought to him alive. The final suspenseful page turn will send readers on their own quest, to find this prequel's companion--Levin's 1986 book, The Ice Bear.
