After experiencing a dark and tumultuous journey to reach the city of Gallerheim, Ulva and her companions would be forgiven in believing that the worst of their troubles were behind them. In fact, they are just beginning.
Whilst John, Ulva and Brenna sequester themselves behind the city walls for their safety, Einar, Kit and their newfound ally Freki must travel to the Isle of Icemoon in search of a godly figure who may be able to provide them with the knowledge needed to craft a powerful artifact that could save Norway from the terrible Dark Wolf Fenrir.
But the dangerous journey forces Einar, Kit and Freki to walk frightful and mysterious paths that few tread and even fewer return from alive. In the meanwhile, Ulva struggles to contain her lycanthropy, which is beginning to spiral out of control.
”Do you think a werewolf could ever be loved by the people of this island? Could such a creature ever be seen as something more than just a monster?”
ICEMOON was a wonderful installment in the Wolfblight series, a wonderful dark fantasy/horror series with lycanthropy mixed with Norse legend. We start off with Ulva imprisoned by the people of Gallerheim for her actions while under the sway of lycanthropy. But she is rescued by an unlikely person… and as she confronts her rescuer, truths about the past are revealed. There are lots of truths revealed in this book, whether unrequited feelings, or parental relationships that finally come to light, and some characters are made stronger for the truth coming out, while others are less than pleased with what they now know. I love the journey that this book took Steele’s characters on and can’t wait for the next. 5/5 stars.
