Winterkeep

"For the past five years, Queen Bitterblue of Monsea has heroically rebuilt her nation after her father's horrific reign. Now she has learned of a land called Torla in the east, and the closest nation there: Winterkeep-a place where telepathic foxes bond with humans, and people fly across the sky in wondrous airships. She sends envoys there, but when they fail to return, Bitterblue, with her most trusted companions, sets off to Winterkeep herself. On the way, tragedy strikes-a tragedy with devestating remifications. And meanwhile, in Winterkeep, ovisa Cavenda waits and watches, a fire inside her that is always hungry. The teenage daughter of two powerful politicians, she is the key to unlocking everything-but only if she's willing to transcend the person she's been all her life."
