Why there gotta be a love triangle, man?! For all that's holy.ġ. I’m at the center of this, a weird possessive feud between the Winter king and the Cordellan prince. This book is good.īut.but there's the love triangle. No.This is one of the best high fantasy I've read this year, which might not mean much, considering the crap I've read, but I can only attest to my enjoyment of it. Someone who would earn standing in Winter. But the mission doesn’t go as planned, and Meira soon finds herself thrust into a world of evil magic and dangerous politics – and ultimately comes to realize that her destiny is not, never has been, her own. Finally, she’s scaling towers, fighting enemy soldiers, just as she’s always dreamed she would. So when scouts discover the location of the ancient locket that can restore Winter’s magic, Meira decides to go after it herself. Training to be a warrior-and desperately in love with her best friend, and future king, Mather - she would do anything to help her kingdom rise to power again. Orphaned as an infant during Winter’s defeat, Meira has lived her whole life as a refugee, raised by the Winterians’ general, Sir. Now, the Winterians’ only hope for freedom is the eight survivors who managed to escape, and who have been waiting for the opportunity to steal back Winter’s magic and rebuild the kingdom ever since. Sixteen years ago the Kingdom of Winter was conquered and its citizens enslaved, leaving them without magic or a monarch.
