Desperate to escape an empty life with her loathsome husband, Evantha steals aboard a ship headed across the ocean, her innocence matched only by her resolve. When the crew docks at the mystical northern island of Frostrise, Evantha hardly expects to stay, much less discover a chance for love. But soon she catches the attention of Inagarde, a red-haired healer and former warrior, and falls under the charms of island and its magical secrets. With each new experience, Evantha struggles to reckon the strict rules of her old life with the liberated ways of Frostrise. But when indecision and a looming threat from her husband throws her blooming relationship into jeopardy, Evantha must banish her fears and harness her newfound powers, or else risk losing true love forever.
