From the blurb;
'On the frozen island of Skane, the sky speaks. Beautiful lights appear on clear nights, and their colours have meaning; Green means all is well, and the Goddess is happy. Blue means a snowstorm is on the way. And then there's red. Red is rare. A warning.
'Seventeen years ago the sky turned red just as Osa was born, unleashing a plague that claimed the lives of hundreds of villagers, including her own mother. This time, when the night sky once again bleeds crimson, she must discover how to stop the onslaught before so many lives are lost again.'
Packed with the delicate drum roll of constant foreboding this novel was written to keep readers on the edge of their seats and succeeds at every turn. As we join Osa on a journey she does not expect to survive we cannot help but route for her broken heart and her pure bravery.
There are mysteries to uncover on the island of Skane, mysteries which may keep the reader hooked, but fuel our main characters steps. Can Osa uncover the secrets of her home, her peoples past and save everyone from the red sky above? You'll have to read A Shiver of Snow and Sky to find out.
