A Storm of Ice and Stars (Skane, #2)

Red lights appear in the sky over Skane, causing a cloak of fear and suspicion to fall like a blanket of snow. In a desperate attempt to keep out the plague, the village barricades its borders. Teenager Janna won't turn her back on people seeking refuge and is banished to the swirling snow and lurking darkness beyond the village. Can she survive? Ice, myth, magic and danger in this bone-chilling, page-turning, beautifully written fantasy novel set in the same world as A SHIVER OF SNOW AND SKY. Blood-red lights have appeared in the sky over the frozen island of Skane, causing a cloak of fear and suspicion to fall over the village like a blanket of snow. In a desperate attempt to keep out the plague, the village elders barricade its borders - no-one, no matter how in need of help, will be permitted to enter in case they bring infection with them. Teenager Janna refuses to turn her back on people seeking refuge and is banished to the swirling snow and lurking darkness beyond the village. Can she survive? Samantha Shannon, internationally bestselling author of The Bone Season, says: 'It reads like a long-lost fable, rich with beauty and imagination. A world you won't forget.' Blodrøde lys har dukket opp på himmelen over den islagte øya Skane, og det legger seg et teppe av frykt og mistenksomhet over øya. I et desperat forsøk på å holde pesten unna, barrikaderer de eldste grensene. Ingen, uansett hvor desperate de er etter hjelp, vil få tillatelse til å komme inn i tilfelle de er smittebærere. Tenåringen Janna nekter å vende ryggen til mennesker som trenger hjelp, og hun blir forvist ut i snøstormen og til det farlige mørket som omgir landsbyen. Vil hun overleve? Omtalen er utarbeidet av BS
