I'm delighted to share the news that my new book The Ice Children is published in the UK on 2nd November in hardback featuring artwork by Penny Neville-Lee. It is available to pre-order now!

Exclusive editions are available from Waterstones and certain indie bookshops in the UK. Or order a standard copy from @bookshop_org_uk to support your local indie.

❄️ ‘As unforgettable as Hans Christian Andersen's 'The Snow Queen' . . . a whirlingly imaginative storyline full of wonder and hope as well as warning.’ – The Times ❄️

At the stroke of midnight on the dawn of December, five-year-old Finn Albedo is found frozen in the city park standing on a pedestal of ice. His heart is beating, he is smiling serenely, but no one can wake him.

Finn’s big sister, Bianca, suspects that the beautiful sparkling book Finn got from the library has something to do with it, but the book has vanished. Does the tall mysterious stranger who first discovered Finn know more than they will admit?

Each day, more children are found frozen and Bianca realizes she’s running out of time. Her quest to discover the truth and rescue her little brother hurls her into a fantastical winter wonderland, full of beauty and danger, where all is not as it seems.

Can Bianca save her brother and the other Ice Children before they are forever lost?

yknow what, fuck you, [unhumans your previous elemental masters of lightning and ice and makes them best friends^_^]

Ice is an unspecified eldritch being. He has an uncanny valley effect on humans that unnerves the majority of the team who in turn can't understand how Libber, Garmadon, and Wu don't feel unsettled by him. Eventually, the teams warms up to him, and though no one becomes as close to him as Libber is, everyone knows they can come to him if they want to hex their ex or get a demon exorcised (sometimes these are one and the same).

Libber is a raijū and though this isn't common knowledge when she joins the elemental masters, news quickly spreads; she isn't great at keeping secrets. She DOES bite and Maya learnt this the hard way.

more art but also cw for death under read more

A couple of youngsters ice dancing. The difference is the young lady is blind. 🤔

My first thought was... "Never let anything make you think you're a quitter in life because YOU have the power to conquer your own demons." 💫

#pay attention #educate yourselves #educate yourself #knowledge is power #reeducate yourself #reeducate yourselves #think for yourselves #think about it #think for yourself #do your homework #ice dancing #ask yourself questions #beautiful #save the children #save our children #save the kids #save humanity

i can't even begin to understand the thought process of rhaegar and his utterly absurd decision to take the most powerful kingsguards with him to either fight or to guard his 15-year-old mistress/abductee (?) and their babe with questionable legitimacy while leaving behind his wife and his two children (one of them is his fucking heir) to be guarded by who exactly? 16-year-old jaime lannister? (who was “guarding” the king that kept him “hostage”)

rhaegar knew damn well his father is going even more insane after a war he started by his utter stupidity and selfishness and they won’t be safe yet he didn’t bother to ensure their safety before he fucks off… the only explanation is that he didn’t give a flying fuck about anyone but himself and his delulu which makes him complicit in their tragic death as much as his mad daddy who kept them hostages and the lannisters who slaughtered them

#RATGAR WHEN I CATCH YOU RATGAR #rhaegar you raggedy ass bitch #justice for princess elia and her children #targ men should start from jail and prove their way out #i just know oberyn is whooping his emo loser ass in the afterlife #anti rhaegar targaryen #anti rhaegar x lyanna #anti rhaelya #asoiaf #a song of ice and fire #game of thrones

Just a daily reminder that Queen Aemma Arryn had only one living child.

Alicent Hightower had four.

And yet the surviving bloodline which created a new Targaryen dynasty that lasted for many years after and produced several incredible Kings, beautiful Princesses, skilled warriors and a Queen came from the one living child of Queen Aemma.

This is what I call poetic justice.

#Alicent Hightower got what was coming to her in the end. She could have produced 10 children and all of them would have died for her sins.#team black #pro team black #aemma arryn #queen aemma #anti alicent hightower #rhaenyra targaryen #anti team green #canon asoiaf #asoiaf #asoiaf meta #queen rhaenyra #anti greens #hotd #house of the dragon #fire and blood #a song of ice and fire

Consider this: What if the Wizard Kings got a second chance in life?

I like to think that Edward would later become a member of the Black Bulls. He vibes with them so much and is already ready to die for them. They really need a GILF grandpa figure. 👀

#black clover #noelle silva #edward avalanche #black clover movie #spoiler?#LISTEN #Edward would be a splendid grandpa for the squad #I'm imagining all the head pats and soft wisdom #Still firm when needed to tho #The best gilf I don't make the rules-#Every member yearns for his pats and grandpa approval #Edward would refuse to be in any other squad #The black bulls are his children now #Would visit the orphanage around the kingdom #ESPECIALLY ASTA'S #Makes friends with father :)#AND THERESA #Would prob make shave ice for the kids too #MY HEART :(((

#hazbin hotel #hazbin hotel fanart #alastor #i'm sure theres a sign somewhere near the front desk that says something like #rude patrons will be fed to the hotel manager #and people think its a joke like those 'unattended children will be given a puppy and ice cream' signs #Charlie keeps taking it down but SOMEONE keeps putting it back up #hh #my art

While B&C is horrific and in no way justifiable, let’s talk about the fact that Aemond ALSO murdered children, the children of House Strong. Official art commissioned by GRRM shows at least one child being brought to slaughter and let’s be honest with ourselves, it’s damn near statistically impossible that he murdered an ENTIRE house and there was not a child among them. And yet, Team Green and most of the fandom at large is only outraged over B&C because child murder to them is only wrong when it’s against the purple eyed blonde haired Valyrian looking ROYAL children because those are the only kinds of children who matter to them.

#anti team green #rhaenyra targaryen #asoiaf #dance of the dragons #house of the dragon #team black #a song of ice and fire #anti aemond stans #anti aemond targaryen #house strong #justice for house strong #and its children #aemond is a serial killer
