A price must be paid.

Elice has left behind the ice and isolation of winter. Before her is the warmth and wonder of summer with all its color and life. Adar is by her side, his touch sending tendrils of heat where before there was only cold. For the first time in her life, she is finally free. 

But all is not as it seems. There are secrets hidden in the heart of summer. Secrets that could burn Elice to the ground and take the whole world with her. The decades-long war between the queens of winter and summer has thrown off the balance of nature, leaving the world in its death throes. 

Adar believes Elice can stop the destruction and heal the decades-old feud between the queens—if only she will trust him. But like all fae bargains, that trust comes with a cost. And the price Elice will pay will tear asunder the boundaries between dreams and family, loyalty and betrayal.
