Shadows: A Dark Parallel-World Fantasy

What has a town been hiding for four hundred years?Alicia has been in Leonberg barely a week when the thirteen-year-old sees the impossible: in the middle of summer, frost creeps across the rim of the fountain. The stone on her puppy's collar turns warm-with a cold that does not come from this world.Because behind this Leonberg lies a second one: the same streets, the same castle-locked in endless winter. And it is spreading.The origin of it all lies further back-in the year 1614. And Alicia is the only one who can find the way there. Georg is waiting for her: a boy stranded between the worlds-and four hundred years before her own time, he becomes her first love.To bring him home, she has to undo an old mistake before the first snow falls. But every step exacts its price: breath, warmth, time.And deep in the ice, something is waiting. It found her long ago.Seven petals. Two worlds. One Rift between them.
