Synopsis
The setting is a world of eternal winter, where once thrived hot climates and exotic luxury. Saphay, daughter of a subking in the more civilised west, is sent off to marry a leader of the barbaric Jafn, not realising that her own father has arranged for her to be betrayed and abducted on her icy journey. But, escaping her pursuers on the back of a giant whale, Saphay is discovered alive - entombed in an ice-pyramid - by her intended husband, and the marriage proceeds. But, all too soon, she carries a child, causing dark suspicions regarding the infant's true origins ...And as her son grows up in wintery exile, it is soon evident that in him is emerging a hero with a very special destiny. Populated by outlandish creatures and exotic landscapes, this is a luscious, luxurious, colourful epic adventure full of the twists and turns and spellbinding imagination that only Tanith Lee can magically conjure

CONTROLLED RELEASE NOTES:

Had this book a while now and it hasn't got any nearer the top of the pile so I'm putting it into a box of books that I'm offering up on Freecycle.

I'm moving at the end of the month so I need to move on some of the books that have been stuck on Mt TBR for a while :-)

Taken from Suruffykaz's book box, as Mt TBR is massive it may take me a while to get to this.

I just couldn't get into this at all so I will try to findit a new reader.

Going onto the book-table at the 2019 Uncon in Northamptionshire.

Added to mount tbr taken from the book buffet at the Northampton 2019 convention.

Very disappointed with this book, I will not continue with the series. It kept me interested enough to finish but only just. A little too much off the wall with its concepts for me.
