A girl with a broken heart. A fierce warrior. An aspiring hero.
Sixteen years ago, the Winter Kingdom was conquered, and its inhabitants were enslaved—left without magic and without a monarch. Now the only hope for the winter liberation lies with eight survivors who managed to escape. They were waiting for the chance to take back winter magic and rebuild the kingdom.
Orphaned even in childhood during the conquest of the Winter Kingdom, Meira spent her entire life as a refugee taken under the care and training of the winter general, Sir Traneing, who turned her into a warrior. The girl is desperately in love with her best friend and future king Matter—and she will do anything to help the kingdom regain power again.
That’s why when scouts discover the location of an ancient medallion capable of restoring Winter magic, Meira decides to go after it. At last she fights her enemies and serves her kingdom the way she always dreamed of. But the mission doesn’t go according to plan, and soon the girl is plunged into a world of evil magic and dangerous politics—ultimately coming to understand that her destiny was never truly in her hands.
