Arryn has survived enemies, betrayal, and battles that should have killed her.
But nothing has prepared her for the Frozen North.
When Arryn is taken and abandoned far from everything she knows, survival becomes a battle against the elements, exhaustion, and the people who left her there. Cut off from her friends and with no clear path home, she is forced to rely on the one thing her enemies could never take from her—her will to survive.
The frozen wilderness offers no mercy. Every step costs energy. Every mistake could mean death.
Yet Arryn is not alone.
As she struggles across a land where nature itself can become deadly, an unexpected bond gives her a chance to survive—and eventually find her way back. Her connection to nature grows stronger, her instincts sharpen, and the woman who emerges from the frozen wasteland is far more dangerous than the one who entered it.
Back in the Dark Forest, Cathillian refuses to believe she is dead.
He knows Arryn.
If she is alive, she will find a way home.
But when she finally returns, she isn't coming back merely to be rescued.
She has unfinished business.
And somewhere ahead, Talia is waiting.
