Hey Mark! I read the prologue you provided in your blog and I saw the word 'northern ice' came up. So i thought it would take place in Broken Empire. But in reddit you commented -"Whole new world!" So where is it exactly going to take place? I mean in Broken empire or a new world

Mark Lawrence A whole new world :)

The poles of any planet tend to be colder and hence you will (in habitable worlds) generally get ice both to the north and south.
