Synopsis
Ten years after the events of the Greenwild trilogy, eleven-year-old Annika Marina may be heir to the ocean-ruled kingdom of Iffenwild, but she would much rather be sailing with her travelling theatre troupe than learning how to be queen. When her beloved uncle Max, the king, returns gravely injured from a secret mission to the Utter North, her world shifts in an instant. Determined to find a long-lost cure, Annika journeys into the frozen North, a land of towering ice cliffs, frozen seas and powerful ice magic where, beneath the ice, magic runs wild. But the deeper she ventures, the clearer it becomes that something far darker is stirring, and if she fails, it will not just be her uncle's life at stake but the fate of the entire magical world. A standalone adventure in the Greenwild universe.
