<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><p>A fantastical tour de force about endless life, cheating death and staying true to what matters most from 'one of the UK's most versatile writers' <i>Grazia</i></p><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>War doesn't end. It sleeps.</p> <p>Delphine Venner is an old woman now. She is old, but she remembers everything. She remembers what it is to be a child of war, she remembers fighting for her life and she remembers what the terrifying creatures from another world took from her all those years ago. She remembers the gateway, and those she lost.</p> <p>And in that other world, beast-filled and brutal, someone waits for her. Hagar, a centuries-old assassin, daily paying a terrible price for her unending youth, is planning one final death: that of her abhorrent master, the Grand-Duc. The death that will cost her everything. The death which requires Delphine.</p> <p>Voyaging into this violence and chaos, Delphine must remember who she really is and be ready to fight once more, as war reawakens. In the battle to destroy an ageless evil, will both worlds be saved -- or will every mortal creature lose everything?</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"Told in rich, allusive prose, <i>The Ice House</i> is a leisurely meditation on good and evil - Lovecraft done with the eye and sensitivity of a poet" <i>Guardian</i></p> <p>"A strangely beautiful, beautifully strange fantasy" <i>SFX</i></p> <p>"The Ice House is a fantasy tale that shines with originality . . .
