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.
About the author
Sara Raasch has known she was destined for bookish things since the age of five, when her friends had a lemonade stand and she tagged along to sell her hand-drawn picture books too. Not much has changed since then: her friends still cock concerned eyebrows when she attempts to draw things, and her enthusiasm for the written word still drives her to extreme measures. She is the New York Times bestselling author of the Snow Like Ashes series, These Rebel Waves, and These Divided Shores. You can visit her online at www.sararaaschbooks.com and @seesarawrite on Twitter.
