Eighteen-year-old Sloane is a deadly fighter, but she is about to meet her match, and he's not exactly human... Sloane thought she could solve any problem with a blade-that is until she is kidnapped and taken through a shimmering rift to a strange world covered in snow. The frozen land she finds herself in is protected by a mysterious race of warriors and haunted by evil, ancient creatures that lurk in the shadows. Her first instinct is to fight for her freedom, but her skills with a sword are useless in helping her escape from the cold and distant prince who holds her prisoner. Her only hope...

Betrayed by her brother, separated from her sister and on the run from her vicious father, Sloane has been forced back into the frozen world of Ellysia. But she has bigger problems to deal with. A bloody battle between the humans and the Unfaih looms on the horizon, and Sloane and Rhyn must take drastic measures to stop the violence that threatens to destroy everyone they love. Can they find the solution in time, or will Aeris and Ellysia descend into war?
