The Kingdom of Winter was overthrown sixteen years ago, its people sold into slavery, and they were left without magic or a ruler. The eight escapees, who have been waiting for the chance to reclaim Winter's power and reconstruct the kingdom ever since, are now the last hope for the Winterians to be free.
Meira was raised as a refugee by Sir, the general of the Winterians, after becoming an orphan at Winter's loss. She was infatuated with Mather, her future king and closest friend, and was training to be a warrior. She would stop at nothing to restore her kingdom's dominance.
Meira makes the decision to go for the ancient locket herself when scouts find its location and learn that it may restore Winter's power. She is finally battling enemy troops and climbing towers, exactly as she had always imagined. However, things don't go as planned, and Meira quickly finds herself thrown into a perilous political environment and a realm of wicked magic. In the end, she learns that her fate is not, and never has been, her own.
