Grant Riven’s life was so much easier when all he had to do was kill Mutes and get paid. While the Hallowed War didn’t kill him, the scrappy resistance he waged against Cloud Nine afterward almost did. Now one good friend is in the hands of his enemies and the rest are all in mortal danger. With the full might of Cloud Nine Engineering aimed squarely at those he cares about, Grant’s only choice may be to place his trust in the very monsters he once swore to destroy...the Mutes and their new queen.

He’s the prince of the Ice people; the kingdom of Icardia is his metaphorical oyster. He always thought his time would be occupied by boring parties, icicle liquor, and ascending the throne.

Now Isaiah is stuck on Earth, with humans, trying to reasonably pass as one while awaiting news from home. And that’s not even the worst part. The Fire king, whose kingdom neighbors his own, made him promise to look after his daughter, Heidi.

Scritto nel 1816, "Lo Schiaccianoci" continua ad affascinare grandi e piccini da due secoli. Fritz e Marie, come tutti i bambini, vivono con gioia i giorni del Natale.
