For five years, the ghost of Seraphina Blackwood has held the valley in her icy grip. When her descendant, Hans, arrives, local boy Miles finds a warmth he never thought possible-a love that feels like the sun. But the same magic that froze the world now seeks a new prince. As Hans is seduced by the promise of a crown and his heart begins to turn to ice, Miles must venture into the glittering, treacherous ruins of the Spire to bring him back from the storm. It is a quest against a legendary evil, a race against time, and a desperate hope that love can be a fire strong enough to cause a thaw.
