Daughter of Winter and Twilight

Daughter of Winter and Twilight

By Helen Corcoran

 In every myth, there is a seed of truth. 

To some, Emri – the adopted heir and daughter of two queens – is a living reminder that her birth father tried to usurp the throne. But as she grapples with a diplomatic visit from her estranged cousin, Melisande, the two girls are attacked by a magical force and spirited away. They must put their differences aside when Emri comes face to face with a goddess she’s always considered a myth: Lady Winter. 

Trapped deep within a mountain temple alongside other young royals, they face a race against time to complete Lady Winter’s trials … or die. 

The eagerly-awaited sequel to the acclaimed fantasy debut Queen of Coin and Whispers.
