A Young Adult novel by acclaimed author Jenny Moore. Ninety-nine years of winter.   Ninety-nine years since the first white-haired, three-thumbed slettbyrd – the scourge of the Gjördish people – was born.   Ninety-nine years since the red-cloaked Slettseeker arrived to destroy every last slettbyrd child… …with Janeck’s baby sister next on the list.  To save her, 14-year-old Janeck Potetsky will have to relearn everything he thought he knew about the world. He’ll have to take on the wild, snowy wastelands and the brutal prejudices of a century-long regime. He’ll have to defeat the all-powerful Slettseeker… or die trying.
