Full of magic and romance, a new fairy queen must form an unlikely alliance or risk an unimaginable danger that will destroy everything she holds dear... The first novel in an epic and thrilling romantic fantasy series, from New York Times bestselling author Allison Saft.

Centuries have passed since a warm-season fairy in Pixie Hollow last crossed into the Winter Woods, and while most fear the legends of monsters lurking in the frozen expanses, Clarion can't help but be captivated by the serenity of the winter beauty. However, under the watchful eyes of the current monarchy and the seasonal ministers of the court, Clarion has little time to lose in daydreams as the days to her coronation dwindle. That is until reports of a monster crossing from Winter to Spring reach the palace. Clarion sees the elimination of this threat as an opportunity to prove she is worthy of her new role. But instead of finding a monster at the edge of Winter, she finds Milori, a young guardian of the Winter Woods. Together they form an unlikely connection as they race to save their lands. But as their alliance warms into something more, they will discover there is a reason a warm-season fairy and a winter fairy should not be together. And the cost may be as deadly as the monsters roaming the Winter Woods.
