Prologue: The Seelie Queen

Eira Graceline is being watched.

Not by potential kidnappers, or by people who want the power she wields- and she does wield power- but by Winter, a boy who each year renews the season of winter. He is fey, the Unseelie King, and he knows her. For the past seventeen years, he has been in complete power, and the cold has not released its grip on the world.

For Eira is something new that he has never seen before, not in all his eons of living. She, above all others in the world, has the ability to warm away his long cold.

And he fears her.
