Winter Sorrow

Lark Silvertree has blood on her hands. Quite a lot of it, actually.

Twenty-five years ago, she escaped the massacre that destroyed her enclave and everyone she loved. What she became after? Well, that was the price of survival. She's made peace with being a monster.

Now she's returned to the frozen ruins of Wintersorrow, hunting for answers. But she's not the only one searching. Rion Palinore, a scholar with a black wolf and an irritating habit of quoting ancient texts, has been hired to find survivors. He prefers books to blades, has no business traipsing through any ruins, and sees through every lie she tells.

Reluctant allies with too many secrets between them, they travel from the silver oaks of Wintersorrow to the crimson forests of Autumncrown, hunting the truth behind an ancient darkness. Someone wanted her enclave erased from history, and Lark may be the key to understanding why.

She's spent a lifetime needing no one. Of course she'd find something worth living for just as the world starts to fall apart.
