Kingdoms would rise and fall for her ...if she is ever found In the icy North, where magic is might, an all-powerful elite ruthlessly guided by a glacial Queen have grown to dominate the world. Now rebellion is stirring in the rough, magic-poor South, where for the first time in memory a warlord has succeeded in uniting the tribal nations.

Until someone suspects she's more than she seems ...Captured by the Southern warlord Griffin, Cat's careful camouflage is wearing thin.
