Description

A frozen world, mighty monsters and spellbinding magic. Journey to the very edge of the world in this INCREDIBLE fantasy adventure. Perfect for fans of Skandar and Philip Pullman . . .

“The Ice Apprentices is an extraordinary fantasy debut.” A.F. Steadman, author of the Skandar series

“North's writing has verve!” The Observer
 
"A page-turning fantasy adventure in a world of ice, dangerous beasts and magic. " Love Reading, debut of the month.

Tundra is the last settlement in a world of ice. Oswin Fields is its only stray, rescued from the Endless Expanse. So, when he's summoned to the school for ice apprentices, he sets out to prove his worth.
But all isn’t as it seems in this enchanted place. When the beasts begin to strike, Oswin has to risk everything he holds dear. Can he look deep within himself to find the strength to prove that he belongs?

‘I loved the Ice Apprentices - it's a thrilling adventure. The cast of characters leap off the page and pull you into a world rich in magic, monsters and the ever-present threat of the icy world they inhabit. Oswin is brave, curious and seeks to uncover the mysteries of his own past and the skills he has been born with. Such an exciting novel!' Nazima Pathan, author of Dream Hunters

About Jacob North
Jacob North was born in South England and grew up with a longing for magical adventures that centred LGBT+ characters. Struggling to find them on bookshop shelves, he decided to write them himself. When he’s not butchering the Dutch language or holding out for a snowy winter, he’s crafting whimsical worlds with characters who happen to be diverse. The Ice Apprentices is his debut novel.
