Ava may have survived the deadly Blood Race at Circo, but on human soil, she is a fugitive, hiding her true identity for fear of being hunted. If she can't complete the Klujn Blood Race--the real one, in the wild--before the Ice Moon rises, she faces permanent exile. On the run, she learns that Grouse, the ruthless autocrat, holds her adoptive mother captive. Ava's only chance at true freedom and to save those she loves is to bring Grouse the heart of Warwick, Circo's king--the same mad king who enslaved her and who has terrorized humanity for decades.Aided only by the intimidating but ailing Diablo, Ava embarks on an epic journey into the frozen wilds, where danger lies around every corner--and in her own mind. For survival is only the beginning. Ava must also impress the gods, because they are everywhere, and they are watching.Dazzling and grotesque, horrifying and hopeful, Ice Moon pulls readers deeper into a world of primal rituals, sentient plants, earth magic, and savage beauty. Ava's fight for home, belonging, and love becomes a powerful journey of healing--one that shows us we cannot heal the earth until we first heal ourselves. less
