About this book

A treacherous shipwreck strands Queen Bitterblue and her companions on a frozen, unforgiving landscape—and only Hava, the queen's spy and secret half-sister, can guide them through the ice back to safety. While Bitterblue wrestles with the devastating power she now holds in her hands, Hava must confront deeper questions about who she is and what kind of future she wants to build in the transformed world ahead. This gripping survival story pulses with the emotional weight of impossible choices, found family, and the quiet courage it takes to forge your own path. If you love character-driven fantasy with heart, danger, and the kind of bonds that hold us together when everything falls apart, this is absolutely for you.

AI-generated synopsis

Reading soundtrack

Listen while you read

Spotify
hauntingintrospectiveresilientwintryvulnerable

Windswept folk and ethereal indie for survival against frozen odds. Soft acoustic vulnerability meets haunting orchestral landscapes. Think Bon Iver's isolation, S. Carey's introspection, and delicate piano underscoring impossible choices and self-discovery amid ice and uncertainty.
