Snow Like Ashes

A striking fantasy tale of dark magic, dangerous politics, and discovering your true self—perfect for fans of Game of Thrones, An Ember in the Ashes, and A Court of Thorns and Roses.

Sixteen years ago, the Kingdom of Winter was conquered, and its citizens were enslaved, leaving them without magic or a monarch. Now, the Winterians' only hope for freedom lies with the eight survivors who managed to escape and have been waiting for the opportunity to steal back Winter's magic and rebuild the kingdom ever since.

Orphaned as an infant during Winter's defeat, Meira has lived her whole life as a refugee. Training to be a warrior—and desperately in love with her best friend, Winter's future king—she would do anything to help Winter rise to power again.

So when scouts discover the location of the ancient locket that can restore Winter's magic, Meira decides to go after it herself. She finds herself thrust into a world of evil magic and dangerous politics and ultimately comes to realise that her destiny is not, and never has been, her own.
