About the book
A striking fantasy tale of dark magic, dangerous politics, and discovering your true self—perfect for fans of Game of Thrones, An Ember in the Ashes and A Court of Thorns and Roses.
Sixteen years ago the Kingdom of Winter was conquered and its citizens enslaved, leaving them without magic or a monarch. Now the Winterians' only hope for freedom is the eight survivors who managed to escape, and who have been waiting for the opportunity to steal back Winter's magic and rebuild the kingdom ever since.
Orphaned as an infant during Winter's defeat, Meira has lived her whole life as a refugee. Training to be a warrior—and desperately in love with her best friend, Winter's future king—she would do anything to help Winter rise to power again.
So when scouts discover the location of the ancient locket that can restore Winter's magic, Meira decides to go after it herself—only to find herself thrust into a world of evil magic and dangerous politics—and ultimately comes to realize that her destiny is not, never has been, her own.
- Warrior Heroine: Orphaned refugee Meira may train with a sword, but her true skill is with the chakram—a spinning blade of death she’ll need to survive.
- Friends to Lovers: Meira would do anything for Mather, her best friend since childhood. But as he prepares to be king, her love for him becomes the most dangerous secret she carries.
- Found Family: With only seven other survivors, Meira’s makeshift family of refugees is all that’s left of Winter—and their bond is the only thing keeping hope alive.
- Reclaiming a Lost Kingdom: Sixteen years after Winter fell to the cruel King Angra of Spring, the fight to steal back their magic and free their enslaved people rests on a single, desperate mission.
