The evil witch Ankathata has locked the peace-loving trolls living in the heart of Wir in a permanent ice storm and a perpetual state of poverty. When an unsuspecting lad named Frahn uncovers the antidote to Ankathata's spell, he is faced with a task more harrowing than any he could have imagined. To save his people, Frahn will have to battle monstrous creatures and evil forces, scale treacherous mountains, and escape a grotesque sorcerer's tower. If he succeeds, he will come face to face with Ankathata, and finally learn whether goodness can overcome the darkest magic in existence and restore life to his beloved homeland. Set in a world of vivid detail, Ankathata's Freeze is a sweeping high fantasy. With book club discussion questions by Kelly O'Connor McNees.
