In Alderland, Summer’s warmth keeps the kingdom alive, until Winter rises to destroy it. Each season, magicians wield enchanted wands to fight back the storm, and every battle demands sacrifice. When the most powerful Summer wand awakens after a century of silence, it chooses Domenic Barrow, a reluctant hero destined to face the coming cataclysm.
Ellery Caldwell has spent her life mastering Summer’s magic, but one mistake gives birth to the first Winter wand and a power she cannot control. Bound by fate as the Chosen Two, Domenic and Ellery must unite to save their world, even as prophecy reveals one must die for the other to survive.
A Fate So Cold begins a sweeping fantasy duology of destiny, rivalry, and tragic love.
