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.
