About this book
Winter, an IceWing prince with a lot to prove, sets out to find his sister before she makes a terrible mistake. Reluctantly joined by Moon, Kinkajou, and Qibli, he’s pulled into a perilous hunt that tests loyalty, bravery, and what it really means to be part of a team. Their journey leads from dangerous enemies to the forbidding Ice Kingdom, where Winter must face his past and his own expectations. Fans love the fast-paced action, rich dragon world, and a hero learning to be more than his family’s rules.
