Exiled into a no-man's land of endless winter, Rune faces danger at every corner. Bloodthirsty monsters, crafty bandits, and soldiers from her former kingdom are all on the hunt for her. When she discovers a commune hidden away in the forest, she also uncovers a long-kept secret that could alter the fate of the realm.

Torn between a chance at peace and keeping what little freedom she has left, Rune is forced to reveal secrets of her own and risks losing the very people she fights to save.


This dark fantasy features corrupted monsters, all-consuming cold, risky romance, and the sheer stubbornness of a woman hell-bent on surviving it all.

*This book contains detailed descriptions of abuse, sex, and fantastical violence.

This book is intended for audiences 18+.

Reviews from Readers:

This was such an engrossing read, the writing was so descriptive and detailed especially when it came to world building and gritty terrains without overloading the reader and read beautifully like poetry.

I was mad that I had to go to work and sleep instead of finishing it in one go. I loved the queer representation and how it was done so seamlessly.
