A heartbroken girl. A fierce warrior. A hero in the making.
Sixteen years ago the Kingdom of Winter was conquered and its citizens enslaved, leaving them without magic or a monarch. Now, the Winteriansโ only hope for freedom is the eight survivors who managed to escape, and who have been waiting for the opportunity to steal back Winterโs magic and rebuild the kingdom ever since.
Orphaned as an infant during Winterโs defeat, Meira has lived her whole life as a refugee, raised by the Winteriansโ general, Sir. Training to be a warriorโand desperately in love with her best friend, and future king, Mather โ she would do anything to help her kingdom rise to power again.
So when scouts discover the location of the ancient locket that can restore Winterโs magic, Meira decides to go after it herself. Finally, sheโs scaling towers, fighting enemy soldiers, and serving her kingdom just as sheโs always dreamed she would. But the mission doesnโt go as planned, and Meira soon finds herself thrust into a world of evil magic and dangerous politics โ and ultimately comes to realize that her destiny is not, never has been, her own.
