Burying the truth in the snow can't conceal it forever. Leona was born a survivor-one of the few sheltered in a prison that withstood the plummeting temperatures of the frozen days. Now, as the weather slowly warms, she struggles to understand a culture and society vastly different than the one created by her elders. Standing on the cusp of her seventeenth birthday, the day she will officially become a woman and eligible for marriage, the tiny world she had long since accepted suddenly seems stifling. Conflicts and curiosity propel her beyond the fences of her home into a barren and uncertain future, with one asset that just might keep her alive.

Everyone's idea of survival was different. Almost eighteen years before Leona left the caves, Ember's sister Rhea was kidnapped from her front lawn and found herself in the hands of some of the most powerful people in the world. Without knowing why they took her, surviving the frozen days alone seemed like an impossible goal. Despite feeling relatively safe and comfortable, she can sense that a sinister motive lies just beneath the thick blanket of snow, but is there anyone in the secluded, mountain-side estate she can trust?
