Fiction
Matthew J. Kirby, author of THE CLOCKWORK THREE, deftly
weaves a brand-new tale with chilling cleverness and subtle
suspense that will leave readers racing breathlessly to the
end.Trapped in a hidden fortress tucked between towering
mountains and a frozen sea, Solveig, along with her brother
the crown prince, their older sister, and an army of
restless warriors, anxiously awaits news of her father's
victory at battle. But as winter stretches on, and the
unending ice refuses to break, terrible acts of treachery
soon make it clear that a traitor lurks in their midst. A malevolent air begins to seep through the fortress walls,
and a smothering claustrophobia slowly turns these prisoners
of winter against one another.Those charged with protecting
the king's children are all suspect, and the siblings must
choose their allies wisely. But who can be trusted so far
from their father's watchful eye? Can Solveig and her
siblings survive the long winter months and expose the
traitor before he succeeds in destroying a kingdom?
