The fate of Elphame hangs in the balance. Anya, the Queen of Winter, is the only one who can save it.

Anya's problems are stacking up, with each one worse than the last:

The Bodach is missing, Crom Cruach has taken over Elphame, and the Seelie Queen?one of the few who had a chance of defeating Crom?is dead.

Then tragedy strikes again, and Anya's parents are taken from her, too.

And Chris, her partner in all things, ends up in the underworld. Oops.

Cut off from her most powerful allies, Anya must call upon friends old and new to defeat Crom and restore Elphame to its former glory.
