"Past the overlapping snowy trees and sapphire fountains, Will saw the far-off alabaster wall of the round fortress with a snowy forest curling at its feet like a giant snow heap.
Something leapt away from the snow heap, an animal camouflaged so well in the wintry landscape that Will only spotted it because it wasn’t see-through, like vanilla ice-cream set against pineapple sherbet.
Soon the animal drew near enough for Will to recognize its shape. It was an arctic wolf, and in a moment of wonderful forgetfulness Will thought that he was seeing Deá the wolf running back to him, alive and well."
~~From "The Sound & The Echoes", a high fantasy for middle grade and young adult readers.
