The sea around a sun-drenched island suddenly freezes.
A groom returns for his wedding with his hair turned as white as snow.
Neci has never known cold or snow on her idyllic island home. Yet her groom, Hoddle, brings ice as bright as his newly whitened hair when he returns to the island with her wedding gift. Nothing will stop Neci from going ahead with the wedding. Not the cold, Hoddle’s changed appearance, nor the odd behaviour of the rest of his party.
On her wedding night, Neci wakes to find Hoddle gone. Her village cloaked in freezing snow. And two enormous creatures, a white wolf and a white owl, who want her help.
As the cold seeps into Neci’s family and friends, the wolf and owl give her one option. Help them stop Hoddle or lose her home and everything she loves to permanent snow and ice.
But Neci doesn’t know if she can trust the wolf and owl. There must be another way to save her husband.
A standalone fantasy novella.
