Imagine living in a world of permanent winter – summer has gone and nothing will bring it back. Main character Quill was named so because people used to write with feathers called Quills and his family knew that he would go on to write his own story. You can’t give in to ‘darkness and despair’, which is what Quill wanted to do time after time – he didn’t feel strong enough or worthy enough. Just when he thought the Light of the World was within his grasp, it soon vanished, leaving him to come face to face with the man who murdered his father and kept his mother hidden from him. How will he end this fight? Who will stand by his side on the battlefield? Can he really bring back the summer? This story is the start of something special and will have readers awaiting the next in the series.
