The Voyage Of The Unquiet Ice (2012) - Plot & Excerpts
NORTHWARD BOUND The Chloe departed Haven Diaz next morning, under a grey sky and in the face of a cold north-east wind. After clearing the bay, they turned north once more along the coast. By day’s end, the stony shores of Valignano had given way to the fertile fields of Castille, the largest and richest of the western kingdoms, where Ferdinand of the Scale reigned. His royal seat was the great port of Coris, but Dow was not granted a sight of the city, for it lay at the eastern end of a deep twin-armed gulf, into which the Chloe did not venture. They pressed on north. For two further days the coast of Castille slid slowly by, and then a mountainous peninsula reared ahead, the kingdom of Leone. Its inland peaks were tinged with snow, but they were different mountains compared to the wet and green highlands of Dow’s home, for their lower slopes were brown and bare of grass or forests. A day later, the Chloe had rounded the peninsula and stood off the very north-western point of all Great Island, and the path to the Ice lay open.
