Secrets gather beneath the snow.

As winter's chill grips the land, Duchess Jacqueline Arienta Xavier journeys north to Lysandeir, where leaders gather to determine the fate of the untamed wilds of Cetachi. But when a young woman dies under mysterious circumstances on the very night the Saphire delegation arrives, Jax senses a sinister force at play.

While others dismiss the death as a tragic accident, Jax knows better. With tensions rising and the threat of civil war looming, the Duchess and her allies must navigate the shadowy halls of the stone fortress to unmask a killer—before darkness consumes them all.
