Part Sleeping Beauty, part Anastasia, with a thrilling political mystery, The Winter Duke is a spellbinding story about choosing what's right in the face of danger. And if Ekata is to survive, she must quickly decide how she will wield it. If Kylma Above is to survive, Ekata must seize her family's power.
Nothing has prepared Ekata for diplomacy, for war, for love.or for a crown she has never wanted. In the space of a single night, Ekata inherits the title of duke, her brother's warrior bride, and ever-encroaching challengers from without-and within-her own ministry. But just as escape is within reach, her parents and twelve siblings fall under a strange sleeping sickness. Not her books or science experiments, not her family's icy castle atop a frozen lake, not even the tantalizingly close Kylma Below, a mesmerizing underwater kingdom that provides her family with magic. When Ekata's brother is finally named heir, there will be nothing to keep her at home in Kylma Above with her murderous family.
