Sig Andersson has a choice to make - use the gun or die. An unforgettable, razor-sharp psychological thriller set in the snowy wilderness of the Arctic Circle. Recipient of a Michael L. Printz Honor 2011, shortlisted for the CILIP Carnegie Medal 2010 and longlisted for the GUARDIAN Children's Fiction Prize 2010. 1910. A cabin north of the Arctic Circle. Fifteen-year-old Sig Andersson is alone. Alone, except for the corpse of his father, who died earlier that day after falling through a weak spot on the ice-covered lake. His sister, Anna, and step-mother, Nadya, have gone to the local town for help. Then comes a knock at the door. It's a man, the flash of a revolver's butt at his hip, and a mean glare in his eyes. Sig has never seen him before but Wolff claims to have unfinished business with his father. As Sig gradually learns the awful truth about Wolff's connection to his father, his thoughts are drawn to a certain box hidden on a shelf in the storeroom, in which lies his father's prized possession - a revolver. As the stakes rise and Wolff begins to close in, Sig's choice is pulled into sharp focus. Should he use the gun?

One boy, a wolf, and a perilous journey: a fantasy that weaves the fabric of well-loved stories into an epic adventure. Long ago, Malabron the Night King tried to turn all stories into one, his story, a nightmare of absolute power. But when Will, a rebellious teenager, stumbles from the present into the realm where stories come from, he is caught up in Malabron's evil designs. Aided by some of the story folk including the feisty Rowen, her grandfather Pendrake (a loremaster) and Shade, the laconic but loyal wolf, Will must combat a host of perils, if he is ever to find the gateless gate that will take him home. The author is an award-winning writer of adult literary fantasy, whose work has been translated into several languages. ""The Shadow of Malabron"" is the first in ""The Perilous Realms"" trilogy. This title offers high fantasy on a grand scale that pays homage to Tolkien in its sweeping invention.
