Fantasy and magic in contemporary Scotland from the bestselling author of The Chaos Clock and The Chaos Quest!

Josh is on summer holiday with his mother in Pitmillie in Fife, near St Andrews. Callie, a local girl, knows the area inside out. They notice that the weather is becoming inexplicably cold—even for Scotland!

Unseen by anyone, the sea starts to freeze and ice begins to creep up the beaches. Josh and Callie find the journal of a girl from the eighteenth century who talks about a Kingdom of Summer, and suddenly they find themselves thrown headlong into a storm of witches, ice creatures, magic, and the Winter King himself. A permanent winter threatens unless they can help restore the natural balance of the seasons.

Can they stop the Winterbringers once and for all?
