Product Description
The debut novel of a young American writer creates a world of fantasy, where the land is divided into two-- the Northlands and the Southlands. Ellin, a girl from the Southland, is forced to go with her physician father to heal the Northland king, even though Southlanders are despised and feared throughout the cold country. Ellin must find a way to battle both the people from the North and then her own people, the Southlanders, to survive in a icy and hostile land.

I just ordered this book. The author Meg Burden explains that one of the main characters is deaf; he and his family members use sign language; and sign language is an important part of the book's plot. Once I read the book, I'm hoping to ask more questions in an interview.
