The awakening is only the beginning. It has been nearly two months since the events of the Summer Solstice, but for Misha Briar, it’s been an endless stream of dreams and nightmares. Unsure of what is true, Misha grapples with waking to a reality in which she’s lost her home and nearly all her family. Not to mention what she’s done to Julian Warin, her best friend and love of her life, and if he can ever forgive her. If she can ever forgive herself. When Misha was poisoned, cast into the cursed sleep, something was awoken deep within her. Something that demands to be set free, to seek retribution for all she’s lost. Can Misha hold the darkness at bay, or will it become her? In the sequel to Summer’s Snow, Misha Briar struggles with new and unfamiliar magic, stopping at nothing to save her sister, her love, and her kingdom.
