I was the bee, the book was sweet lemonade. I said not so long ago that I was going to steer clear from court intrigue but… I mean, the setting really pulled me in. The Winter Duke is an enchanted tale of intrigue by Claire Eliza Bartlett, author of the acclaimed feminist fantasy We Rule the Night. And if Ekata is to survive, she must quickly decide how she will wield them both. If Kylma Above is to survive, Ekata must seize her family’s magic and power. Nothing has prepared Ekata for diplomacy, for war, for love…or for a crown she has never wanted. In the space of a single night, Ekata inherits the title of duke, her brother’s captivating warrior bride, and ever-encroaching challengers from without–and within–her ministry. But just as escape is within reach, her parents and twelve siblings fall under a strange sleeping sickness, and no one can find a cure. Not her books or her experiments, not her family’s icy castle atop a frozen lake, not even the tantalizingly close Kylma Below, a mesmerizing underwater kingdom that provides her family with magic. Once Ekata’s brother is finally named heir to the dukedom of Kylma Above, there will be nothing to keep her at home with her murderous family. Now she must survive the throne.Īll Ekata wants is to stay alive–and the chance to prove herself as a scholar.
