A short novella - the prequel to FIREBRAND.
Sithe captain Griogair MacLorcan is his queen's fighter of choice, skilled and ruthless at clearing her glens of the vile Lammyr. He is not used to them coming back, so when they defiantly return, holding a young Sithe girl captive, Griogair doesn't hesitate to rout them and free the child.
But the girl Lilith has been a long time with Lammyr, and keeps secrets of her own.
The most vulnerable of creatures can be the most deadly.
A prequel to Gillian Philip's acclaimed FIREBRAND, FROST CHILD tells how Seth's parents Griogair and Lilith met - and the first deadly consequences.

Amanda Craig, The Times
"Often stark and brutal, but with moments of heartbreaking beauty"
Mary Hoffman, The Guardian
"Adventure writing of immense and energetic skill"
Keith Gray, The Scotsman
"One of the best faerie fantasy books I've ever read... Philip has taken her own mythic heritage and made it into something rare, new and infinitely exciting"
Lucy Coats, Scribble City Central
"Everything fantasy should be: vital, charismatic characters; intensely personal stories; big arching themes of power and greed, love and loyalty"
Jill Murphy, The Bookbag
