Welcome to Litsy!

The Revenant meets True Grit with a magical twist in this thrilling and atmospheric debut fantasy about two teens who must brave a frozen wasteland and the foes within it to save their loved ones and uncover a deadly secret. The answer to what freezes first is the eyes. That ain�t what most people would guess. Everyone in Shadow Springs knows that no one survives crossing the Flats. But the threat of a frozen death has never deterred the steady stream of treasure hunters searching for a legendary prize hidden somewhere in the vast expanse of ice. Jorie thinks they�re all fools, which makes scavenging their possessions easier. It�s how she and her sister, Brenna, survive. Then Jorie scavenges off the wrong body. When the dead man�s enemy believes Jorie took something valuable from the body, he kidnaps Brenna as collateral. He tells Jorie that if she wants her sister back, she�ll have to trade her for the item he thinks she stole. But how can Jorie make a trade when she doesn�t even know what she�s looking for? Her only source of information is Cody, the dead man�s nephew and a scholar from the South who�s never been hardened by the harsh conditions of the North. Though Jorie�s reluctant to bring a city boy out onto the Flats with her, she�ll do whatever it takes to save her sister. But anything can happen out on the ice, and soon Jorie and Cody find they need one another more than they ever imagined�and they�ll have to trust each other to survive threats beyond their darkest nightmares.
