On the run, she learns that Grouse, the ruthless autocrat, holds her adoptive mother captive. Ava's only chance at true freedom and to save those she loves is to bring Grouse the heart of Warwick, Circo's king--the same mad king who enslaved her and who has terrorized humanity for decades.Aided only by the intimidating but ailing Diablo, Ava embarks on an epic journey into the frozen wilds, where danger lies around every corner--and in her own mind.
