Synopsis:
The sequel to the chilling Winter People returns to the world of Faerie, and is a romantic and enchanting follow-up.
Salome left humankind behind to be with her boyfriend, Gareth, in the Kingdom of Summer. But now forces of darkness are rising. Her happily-ever-after is coming apart, and the Kingdom is on the brink of war.
Newly-single Kadie Byers is on her way home for Thanksgiving, imagining a visit filled with hot chocolate, a hot guy for a little rebound action, and some girl time with her bestie, Salome. Except she receives a message from Salome with two important words: PLEASE HURRY.
When Kadie rushes to help Salome, she’s ripped from the human world and pulled into the kingdoms of Faerie, where she’s shocked to learn that Salome’s monsters are real, and that she’s now at the mercy of one extremely vengeful Winter Queen…
Now both Salome and Kadie must find a way to survive the deadly chaos…or lose themselves to Winter’s deadly, icy grasp.

Excerpt
KADIE:
A sigh escaped my lips when I watched daylight sneak through the door
at the back of the room. Somehow, I’d survived the night. My body ached as I
attempted to stretch my legs out, my arms still tied to the post.
Every part of me was numb from the cold, but I was alive. As more light
fractured the shadows, my gaze fell to the blood-slickened floors. It looked as
if the floor tiles had bled. I buried my face against my shoulder. I wanted to
cry but didn’t dare show my fear. If they realized how badly this place
affected me, they’d find other ways to get inside my head or worse, maybe
torture me. A shiver scraped along my spine at the thought.
I need to get out of here. I’m
going to go crazy.
A lock rattled then the door flung open. Etienne sauntered inside, his
white tunic opened like some seventies porn star. He gave me a sad smile.
“Good. You’re awake. The queen would like to see you.” He walked over
and untied the ropes that secured me to the bed.
I cried out as my wrists were freed. The skin around them was raw and
reddened from my attempts to escape.
“What are you, her bitch?”
“You should just give in now, otherwise the Winter Queen will only make
things worse.”
“Trust me, I’m gonna keep fighting until I get out of this hell hole.”
