When Lily Locke receives a royal decree summoning her to the Kingdom of Crystalvia, she can hardly turn down the request; however, the invitation comes with a catch. When the queen begs Lily to crack a curse that has held their village captive for three years, Lily promises to do everything she can to free them—because, if she doesn’t, the kingdom will eventually languish… and disappear forever. But as Lily digs deeper into the mystery behind their endless winter, she finds the truth is a lot more than she bargained for. And when her father becomes involved, the situation turns more dangerous than ever. Still, only one thing is certain: if Lily can’t fix the curse before the clock runs out, someone will die… and her name is up next.
