Publisher Description

A rejected son with a hidden darkness. A witch sworn to revenge. Forced apart for years, only together can they end winter's reign.

Wacław dreams of a purpose. Except he's never actually dreamed. Each night, his soul leaves his body and wanders, free from his father's scorn, but when the goddess of winter and death unleashes his dark power, his only hope for answers is the witch he's forbidden to see.

The entire village fears Otylia, but she'd rather be serving her goddesses alone in the woods anyway. Everyone else has abandoned her—even Wacław—and the only thing she despises more than him is the winter goddess. But when she discovers her lost friend bearing winter's Frostmark, she realizes the horrible truth.

Winter will not end, and only together can they stop it.

In this first book of an epic fantasy series rooted in Slavic mythology, dive into a new world with menacing magic and beasts, scheming gods, a group of allied misfits, and plenty of secrets to uncover.
