When a magical shaman of the Ghost World visits a fur trapper for the czar and tries to claim his son Ambrosi, the father resists, while Ambrosi finds himself tempted to renounce his mortality and learn the secrets of his true destiny.
Price's writing strikes a chord that has continued to resound for me ever since. This is a heartbreaking, affirming and disturbing tale of loyalty and love against any odds. A fantastic sequel to Ghost Drum, this series of books are the most beautiful thing I've read in my life so far - definitely not just for children.
