About this ebook

Ignite your imagination with this immersive fantasy read!

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.

Ratings and reviews

I couldn't even finish the book, I lost interest in it quickly. The author gave too much information, and she could go on for several chapters about something that wouldn't even have anything to do with the plot. For me it was a huge waste fo time, and I do not suggest it to anyone. Read at your own risk.

Very very descriptive to the point that its boring and I don't care. Intriguing story line but nothing spectacular, and the reason Hannah sacrificed herself in the first place, seemed stupid I really have no idea why.

This whole series is amazing with twists around every turn. I would absolutely recomend it to anyone looking for a fantastic read
