As the last child in a family of daughters, seventeen-year-old Janneke was raised to be the male heir. While her sisters were becoming wives and mothers, she was taught to hunt, track, and fight. On the day her village was burned to the ground, Jannekeβas the only survivorβwas taken captive by the malicious Lydian and eventually sent to work for his nephew Soren.
Jannekeβs survival in the court of merciless monsters has come at the cost of her connection to the human world. And when the Goblin Kingβs death ignites an ancient hunt for the next king, Soren senses an opportunity for her to finally fully accept the ways of the brutal Permafrost. But every action he takes to bring her deeper into his world only shows him that a little humanity isnβt badβespecially when it comes to those you care about.
Through every battle they survive, Jannekeβs loyalty to Soren deepens. After dangerous truths are revealed, Janneke must choose between holding on or letting go of her last connections to a world she no longer belongs to. She must make the right choice to save the only thing keeping both worlds from crumbling.
