A beautiful, epic story of destiny, magic and love... Reborn for a new generation of readers.

Rose is an unsusual child, a North Child. For Rose was born facing north, and the old stories say she is destined to travel far from home on a dangerous journey.

A spellbinding adventure to curl up with on long winter nights.
