About this series
Under a freezing Arctic sky, a wolf carries a baby to a remote village.
Taken in by the villagers and named 'Vulchanok' or 'Little Wolf', the lost baby grows into a happy little boy.
But night after night, his dreams are walked by his rescuer, the wolf-witch. She leads him to the Ghost World and makes him a shaman.
The villagers begin to fear him and he grows into a lonely man -- until he sees a vision of a lovely girl as lonely as himself, imprisoned in a small room. Shrugging on his falcon skin, he flies to find her.
When a falcon drums its wings against her window, Kristiana opens it -- and is astonished when the hawk lights on the floor and turns into a man. She and Vulchanok are soon in love.
But Kristiana's brother, Glev, will never allow her to marry a dirty northern huntsman -- and Vulchanok's wolf-wife is fiercely jealous.
Can the lovers survive the hatred and jealousy surrounding them?

Midsummer midnight: the endless white night of the far north. Malyuta, slave and hunter, names his first born son 'Ambrosi' because it means 'Immortal.' Then comes Kuzma, the bear-shaman, who claims the baby as his apprentice. He promises Malyuta riches or even the return of his youth, if he will give up his new-born son. Malyuta refuses, throughout the long night. The bear-shaman leaves, at last, declaring that keeping the baby will bring Malyuta nothing but misery. It is never wise to anger a shaman. Kuzma watches as Ambrosi grows... Can Ambrosi escape the bear-shaman? Can he protect his father from the Kuzma's revenge? Book Two of the Ghost World sequence, which began with Ghost Drum and continues with Ghost Dance.

Ghost Dance Book 3 of The Ghost World Sequence "Are you cold, my children? Are you cold?" The young witch, Shingebiss, believes she can 'spell' the Czar and make him save her beloved Northlands from destruction. In her innocence, she little understands that the Imperial Palace is a place of treachery and murder, ruled by a madman with a mind like 'a broken mirror, reflecting all things crookedly.' At first the Czar takes Shingebiss for an angel, sent to him by God, and welcomes her. But none of her spells seem able to blunt his greed and cruelty. Shingebiss has a rival at court who hates her -- the English wizard, Master Jenkins, who pretends to the Czar that he can summon demons. Fearing that Shingebiss will unmask him, Master Jenkins plans to be rid of her. He tells the Czar that he can make him an Elixir of Immortality. The most potent ingredient is the blood of an angel. The Czar orders the elixir made immediately. Can Shingebiss save the Northlands? Can she save her own life? An intense, Gothic fantasy REVIEWS In Ghost Dance, Price transports us to the palace of a Czar whose avarice and suspicion are destroying the beautiful Northlands... Here again, the complete seriousness and integrity of the writing makes for a quietly terrifying read. Highly recommended. Guinevere Vaughan This third book of the sequence is still rich and deeply powerful. It's full of the physical awfulness of human existence and human fears and the magic of storytelling which veers between the safe and the dangerous, the fascinating and the uncomfortable.
