Short description

In his despair to right the wrongs done to his family, the sorcerer Tandor takes a huge risk that could lead to the destruction of his homeland.

Extended description

Deep under the City of Glass in the frozen southern land, an age-old machine called the Heart of the City radiates a power which locals call icefire. Most citizens are immune to it, but a few, always born with physical disabilities, can bend it to their will. For fifty years, the ruling Eagle Knights, who fly on the back of giant birds, have killed these Imperfects, fearing the return of the old royal family, who used icefire to cut out people's hearts, turning them into ghostly servitors.
The old king's grandson Tandor only sees the good things icefire brought: power and technology now forgotten while the people of the south live in dire poverty. He's had enough of seeing his fellow kinsfolk slaughtered by ignorant Knights, of Imperfect babies being abandoned on the ice floes to be eaten by wild animals.

Review by: Andrea Carew on Jan. 16, 2012 : star star star star star
I have not written a book review before - so here goes:
When I read this book, it had been a while since I had read any fantasy ... but now the bug has bitten again - I enjoyed this book a lot. Patty has spun an interesting and exciting tale, where she builds a picture of a world different to our own, yet strangely similar, and I am now intrigued to see where the story goes in the next 2 books. I am glad Patty gave me a copy of this book to review, because I have enjoyed reading it.
