Frostborn by Lou Anders

Frostborn by Lou Anders

This first volume in an adventure-filled, Viking-inspired series by a debut author will appeal to lovers of Rick Riordan's Percy Jackson and John Flanagan's Ranger's Apprentice series.

Meet Karn. His only concern is that he is set to take over the family farm in Norrngard. He'd rather be playing Thrones and Bones, a board game.

Thianna is a half-human, half-frozen giantess who is too tall to blend in with other humans but not tall enough to be regarded seriously as a giantess.

Karn and Thianna must keep their wits about them when family intrigues compel them to run into the forest. But survival can be difficult when you're being pursued by a 1,500-year-old dragon, Helltoppr the undead warrior and his undead followers, an evil uncle, wyverns, and an array of trolls and giants.

Readers will go on a sweeping epic fantasy adventure as Karn and Thianna embark on a voyage of discoveryAntics and hair-raising escapades abound in this fantasy adventure as the two establish a bond and trek to unknown territoryTheir plan: to save their family from danger

Lou Anders, a debut novelist, has developed a fascinating world filled with Karn, Thianna, and a variety of strange creatures, as well as the Thrones and Bones board game.
