An ocean lies between them. Rowan must learn to make a life in Wintersea Castle and find her place as a noblewoman and daughter of a revolutionary. Quinn must face the consequences of betraying his family and figure out how to repair the kingdom that he broke. With Wintersea and Thuedal on the brink of war, they each have to decide where their loyalties lie--to each other, to the legacies of their fathers, or to their people. Magic abounds in this second installment of the Wintersea Trilogy.
