A Daughter of Winter

With the end of the Midwinter Festival life in Solana was supposed to quiet down, but turmoil reigns instead. The Calyx are on strike while their familiars are in quarantine. Sasha and Rialta await trial, separated from Jessamine by a bureaucracy she is determined to overcome-even if it means bending the rules. Çifta is frozen in a pillar of ice and only Laec seems interested in trying to save her... But inside the ice Çifta must pass a magical test to win her life.

While citizens are distracted by the drama permeating their personal lives, sinister threats loom from both the East and the North, and one of them strikes without warning. A tale with more twists and turns than a mountain pass, is war inevitable, or will love conquer all?
