Two kingdoms, two royals, and a curse that threatens to destroy the fragile peace between them.

Prince Isanfier and Princess Skiansy have returned from the war with heavy hearts, but their battles are far from over. Fidal's curse looms over Isan's head and he knows Icaria is still out there, plotting to finish what King Frost and Darkenier started.

Dealing with the fallout of the King's death is a difficult dance, and to make matters worse, the Council has called a Festival of Honour, in hopes of choosing the next Queen and Prince Consort of Summer. Marriage is the furthest thing from Isan's mind as he struggles with his unpredictable newfound magic, his tenuous alliance with Asmund, and a controlling Captain of the Guard who judges his every move.
When disaster strikes, Isan discovers he's not the only one keeping secrets, and is forced to seek refuge in the Edgewood. Echo may be his saviour once again, but the stakes are high and time is running out.

Will Isan learn to control his magic in time to save his kingdom or will the wrath of Winter reach him first?
