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.

• Best Friend’s Romance: Meira has loved Mather her whole life, but he’s the future king of Winter and she’s just a soldier. Duty stands between them… for now.
• Rebellion and Uprising: Sixteen years after their kingdom was conquered, eight survivors are all that stand against an evil king. They must reclaim their magic or Winter will be lost forever.
• An Intricate Magic System: Winter’s power resides in a magical locket, broken in two and lost to the world. Meira’s quest to find it will plunge her into a realm of dark power and political intrigue.
• A Lost Princess: Meira has always believed she was a nameless orphan. But as she fights for her kingdom, she’ll discover her true destiny is far more dangerous and vital than she ever imagined.
