      Da tre mesi i sudditi del Regno d'Inverno sono stati liberati e il re di Primavera, Angra, è scomparso, grazie soprattutto all'aiuto di Cordell. Ma ancora non c'è pace per gli inverniani: devono pagare il debito verso Cordell, e sono così costretti a lavorare nelle miniere. Dove portano alla luce qualcosa di molto potente e altrettanto pericoloso: l'abisso della magia di Primoria. Potrebbe essere l'arma definitiva per sconfiggere Angra, ma l'ultima volta che il mondo ha avuto accesso a una magia simile è precipitato verso la rovina. Così, quando il re di Cordell ordina a Meira e Theron di partire alla ricerca dei segreti della magia, la ragazza pensa di usare quel viaggio per radunare alleati con un unico scopo: evitare che i poteri dell'abisso vengano liberati. È l'unico modo per proteggere il suo popolo, e Meira è disposta a tutto pur di tenere gli inverniani al sicuro. Ma dentro di lei inizia a farsi strada un dubbio: e se la sua missione non fosse combattere solo per Inverno, ma per tutto il mondo? Saprà farlo senza mettere in pericolo le persone che ama?

      Da sedici anni i cittadini del Regno d'Inverno sono stati fatti schiavi, privati della loro magia e del loro re. L'unica speranza per il popolo di Inverno risiede negli otto fuggitivi che sono riusciti a scappare e sopravvivere fuori dai confini, in attesa che giunga il momento del riscatto. Rimasta orfana durante la sconfitta di Inverno, Meira è stata allevata da Sire e ha vissuto tutta la vita come profuga. Sogna di diventare una guerriera e far risorgere Inverno, ma il suo cuore batte anche per Mather, il suo migliore amico nonché erede al trono. Quando gli esploratori scoprono dove è nascosto il medaglione magico in grado di ridare i poteri a Inverno, Meira decide che è giunto il momento di fare sul serio. Finirà coinvolta in un gioco pericoloso forse troppo spietato per lei. E soprattutto dovrà rendersi conto che il suo destino non le è mai realmente appartenuto.

Perfect for fans of Shannon Hale, Leigh Bardugo, and Marissa Meyer. As a child, she committed unforgivable acts to free Grace Loray from King Elazar of Argrid. Now Elazar's plan to retake the island has surpassed Lu's darkest fears: He's holding her and his son, Ben, captive in an endlessly shifting prison, forcing them to make a weapon that will guarantee Elazar's success. Escape is impossible--unless Lu becomes the ruthless soldier she hoped never to be again. Vex failed to save Lu and Ben--and that torments him as much as his Shaking Sickness. With the disease worsening, Vex throws himself into the rebellion against Argrid. The remaining free armies are allied with the stream raider syndicates--and getting them to cooperate will take a strength Vex thought burned on a pyre six years ago. Imprisoned, betrayed, and heartbroken, Ben is determined to end his father's rampage. Watching Elazar sway the minds of Grace Loray as he did those of Argrid, Ben knows he has to play his father's game of devotion to win this war. But how can a heretic prince defeat the Pious God? As armies clash and magic rises, Lu, Vex, and Ben will confront their pasts . . . or lose their futures forever.
