A dying man delivers a terrible warning: civil war has broken out between neighboring clans. As healer and clanmistress, Ilyenna is tasked with keeping the wounded refugees alive and her people fed in the midst of a seemingly endless winter.
But when the war moves to the heart of her village, Ilyenna looks into her enemy’s eyes and sees more than just cunning. There is also lust—lust for power and lust for her. She could save herself, accept the fae bargain that would grant her their dark magic in exchange for her soul. Her refusal leaves her struggling to survive her captor's cruelty.
She finds a measure of solace in the arms of her fellow prisoner, Rone. But it isn’t long before she discovers the feud between clans is merely a distraction from something far worse. Ilyenna must decide whether or not to resurrect the power the fairies left behind. Doing so will allow her to defeat her enemies, but if she embraces winter, she risks losing herself to that destroying power—forever.

"A captivating series!" –Jennifer A. Nielsen, New York Times bestselling author
Amber Argyle writes the kind of fantasy romance that lingers in your soul long after the final page. Her bestselling books—spanning the Forbidden Forest, Fairy Queens, Witch Song, and Wild Heart Ranch series—are packed with fierce heroines, swoon-worthy romance, and lush, magical worlds that have captivated readers around the globe.
Her award-winning novels have been translated into multiple languages and praised by New York Times bestselling authors like David Farland and Jennifer A. Nielsen, who called her stories “rich, emotional, and utterly unforgettable.”
Amber grew up on a cattle ranch where she split her time between rodeo arenas and the basketball court. That same wild, untamable spirit lives in her heroines. A graduate of Utah State University (cum laude), Amber now balances a full-time career in marketing, a busy family, and the occasional existential threat posed by spiders.
Though she’s currently on a writing hiatus (because publishing, parenting, and capitalism are all-consuming), she promises that if her books ever earn her a living wage, she’ll “gladly quit her day job and write full-time.”
If you love stories of resilient women, magical curses, and slow-burn romance in darkly enchanted worlds, Amber’s books are waiting to sweep you away.
