Winter Queen
Fairy Queens 1
~Becoming
a winter queen will make Ilyenna as cold and cruel and deadly as winter
itself, but it might be the only way to save her people from a war they
have no hope of winning.~
Mortally
wounded during a raid, seventeen-year-old Ilyenna is healed by winter
fairies who present her with a seductive offer: become one of them and
share their power over winter. But that power comes with a price. If she
accepts, she will become a force of nature, lose her humanity, and
abandon her family.
Unwilling
to pay such a high price, Ilyenna is enslaved by the one of the
invaders, Darrien. While in captivity, she learns the attack wasn’t just
a simple raid but part of a larger plot to overthrow her entire
nation.
With
the enemy stealing over the mountains and Darrien coming to take her to
his bed, Ilyenna must decide whether to resurrect the power the fairies
left behind. Doing so will allow her to defeat Darrien and the other
invaders, but if she embraces winter, she will lose herself to that
destroying power—forever.
