Cold Fire

In a world where science and magic are at war, one girl must find a way to save the ones she loves, or lose everything. Cat and Bee are caught in an intricate web of subterfuge and politics. Everyone seems to want something from them -- the warlord who wants to conquer all of Europa, the Cold Mages who dare to stand against him; the spirit world has its own agenda, but most dangerous of all might be the Master of the Wild Hunt. What he wants from the girls remains a mystery, but what is clear is that if Cat can't find a way to give him what he wants by Hallow's Eve, all will fall into ruin.
