The stunning sequel to "Heir to the Ice Flame".

"The Winter Spirit told me that I had been blessed with powers I needed to master, but she also warned that those, like me, blessed by the Gods, were instruments of change - whether for good or bad. I don't know which side of the coin I will be on, but I know that the fight for my kingdom is coming, and I must do whatever I can to be ready."

Princess Nina Fiordlasher might have stopped running from her past, but she is still heartbroken, danger lurks closer than she realises, and her resistance forces are not yet strong enough to help her reclaim the throne.

Should she accept the offer of help from the fearsome Dark Elves who dwell in the Underdark? Can she ever hope to control such allies of night and shadow and in a realm of betrayal and lies, will love and trust melt a heart of ice?
