Talus And the Frozen King (2014)
“The wind whipped fresh snow against his face. The cold bit his ears, the tip of his nose.
Men he couldn't see shouted for help.
The slope reached its peak and started to descend. The change was so abrupt that Bran's feet shot from under him. Just for a moment, he felt as if he was flying. Then he was down again and sliding on his backside over slick ice, finally landing on a beach of pebbles that clattered together like thousands of tiny bones. The wind continued to hammer him, its monumental roar competing with the crash of the waves on the shore.
An eerie orange light burned through the swirling snow, illuminating a sweeping curve of shingle studded with craggy boulders. Looming over the beach was a tremendous weather-torn cliff.
The sun had set long ago. Where was the light coming from?
The shouts were much louder now. Bran picked himself up and pressed on. The wind was so strong he had to lean into it to stay on his feet.
