“I know she’s still alive!”
A year has passed since Kit Soriano’s mother disappeared in an Alaskan blizzard, but she refuses to give up. No matter what anybody says, her mother is not dead.
Against all logic, propelled by recurring dreams of ice-white dragons and a magical silver knife, Kit journeys to the place where her mother vanished. She’s clearly not welcome in the wilderness town of Silver Claw, but her knife throbs with heat and her dreams show the impossible – mythical dragons are guarding her sleeping mother.
Desperate, Kit has no choice but to rely on Dai, a white-haired boy who knows more than he says about the wild magic rippling beneath the surface of the town. She wants to trust him. But is he her friend or an enemy? If she’s wrong, will she too be lost forever in the unforgiving Alaskan wilderness?

Kit is relentless in her search to find her mother. She KNOWS that her mother is still alive. She will do anything – brave the cold death-dealing wilderness of Alaska by herself – to find her mother. It’s been a year since her mother disappeared, but Kit won’t give up. The magical knife tells her that she still has time to save her mother, she just has to figure out what the small town of Silver Claw is hiding and how the secret of the town is related to her mother’s disappearance.
Kit is a larger-than-life character. Her need to find her mother is so all consuming in her mind. She believes with all her being that her mother, even after a year lost in the Alaskan wilderness, is still alive. That amount of conviction blows my mind. Her passion and devotion to her search is very endearing. She cares so much about her family and her mother. I wanted her to succeed!
The mystery of Silver Claw kept drawing me in. As much as Kit, and I as the reader, wanted to like some of the townsfolk, the suspicion was ever present on the surface. What did the town do to Kit’s mother? What were they hiding about her disappearance? Why did her lab notes disappear? What did she find out? The mystery is well paced in this story and the clues were gradually revealed and well placed.
The fantasy elements didn’t play a major part in the plot of the story. A magical knife did help Kit and was evidence to the fact that her mother was still alive. The ending did contain quite the fantasy reveal. This book appealed to me quite a bit because it focused on the characters and the secret that Silver Claw kept hidden within its residents. This is a fantasy book for non-fantasy readers as well as fantasy readers.

Ice and fire
This book is a standalone addition to the series. Kit Soriano's mother, a geneticist, disappeared almost a year earlier while doing research. She and a local guide both were lost in a winter storm, but Kit doesn't believe she's dead. Their bodies were never found and the talisman her mother gave her, that was handed down from mother to daughter in their family, still glows red.

The pace was full of twists and turns. Spectacular scenery superimposed on glacier temperatures. Kit goes to the end in undeniable belief till she has nothing left but inertia to propel her onward. I found it to be a thrilling tale from start to finish. Glad I had the opportunity to read it on cold wet autumn nights from the comfort of my couch. It is a great mystery that kept me guessing, only I got it wrong in the end. Nicely done Susan Brown!
