Publisher's Synopsis
While everyone else prepares for war, Elaina is on a divine mission to restore peace. She grew up believing she was an orphan, but Elaina now knows who and what she is, and she's learning how to use her new powers over nature, life, and death to achieve her goals.
Heavy snow is falling in Arra, and its army and royal court are hiding in caves from the Destaurian invaders. Elaina, her mentor Alessa, and Queen Alethea have journeyed northward to secure allies for a counterstrike.
Meanwhile, Elaina's love Prince Jaimin learns how to inspire his people, and Jaimin's best friend and advisor Nastasha struggles with her feelings for him.
Even if the counterstrike succeeds, peace is not assured. Ultimately, Elaina must travel far into a hostile land to find and heal the enemy king. And she will need the help of a family she never knew she had.
