In this trilogy ender, the frost-loving Harsh are drowning the world in snow and ice. This prompts Owen the Navigator to quest through the choppy "seas of time" to defeat the Harsh. Enemies also threaten from within, but with the help of good friends, Owen prevails. The weather magic and steampunk-flavored setting make for entertaining set dressing.
