This captivating second book in Bree Barton’s Heart of Thorns trilogy deftly explores the consequences of power in a dark magical kingdom-and the fierce courage it takes to claim your body as your own. This feminist teenager fantasy is ideal for followers of Sarah J. Maas and Leigh Bardugo.

Mia Rose is back again from the dead. Her remembrances are hazy, her body numb-but she won’t stop searching. Her only hope to conserve the young man she loves as well as the sister who damaged her is to get the mother she can’t ever forgive.

After her mother’s betrayal, Pilar is on the hunt of her own-to seek out the only person who can exact revenge. All goes according to strategy until she collides with Prince Quin, the guy whose sister she wiped out.

As Mia, Pilar, and Quin forge dangerous brand-new alliances, they may be bewitched with the snow kingdom’s promise of freedom…but there is nothing as it seems beneath the kingdom’s glimmering ice.
