Eira is stuck living at his side in the glasshouse where her fate is tied to his own, trying to protect him from the Witch, who calls to Isbrand, tempting him, even within the safety of the glasshouse. And as the curse's deadline draws near, no plan of the king's-or Isbrand's love for Eira-can keep the Snow Queen from stealing him away.Left desperate and hopeless, Eira must set off on an impossible journey into the frozen north to save Isbrand. In a world of old magic, fae tricksters, and creatures out of time, it just might be enduring friendship and true love that save a kingdom destined for destruction.
