The Ice Whisperers

An epic icy adventure with a warming tale of sisterhood at its heart.

Maria Kuzniar, author of The Ship of Shadows

An ice prism of beauty. Every way I look at it, I love this book from the crystalline brilliance of its surface to its tender, glowing heart. Wonderfully interpreted and illumined by Marco Guadalupi.

Zillah Bethell, author of The Shark Caller

A richly imagined, thrilling adventure sparkling with things that inspire no matter what millennium you live in: determination, courage and love.

Rebecca Wragg Sykes, author of Kindred: Neanderthal Life, Love, Death and Art

Glittering with frost and tingling with magic, this story of sisters separated by time is heart-warming, adventurous and thought-provoking. I loved the icy Siberian setting and the shifts in time between the early 20th Century and the pre-historic - the worlds of Bela and of Ren-ya are both exquisitely drawn and utterly believable. I found myself rooting for each of the sisters and utterly entwined by the ancient magic that bonds them together. An enchanting debut from Helenka Stachera - I can't wait to read what she writes next!
