Wayfinding magic on an island of ice

Abashi Island is both a prison and a frozen wilderness, shaping Kira’s life from birth. When forbidden magic curses her sister, the search for a cure brings her into an uneasy partnership with Ren, a monster hunter whose commitment to the law clashes with her own outlook. The adventure links a family’s immediate danger to questions of imprisonment, imperial authority, and the hidden history behind Kira’s confinement. Ancestral wayfinding magic gives the fantasy a thread of discovery, while the icy island setting frames a story about loyalty, risk, and what it means to find a way forward.

Book overview

There are no chains for criminals on Abashi Island, only endless ice.

Born into prison, Kira has only known the arctic wasteland where the worst criminals are sent to be forgotten-including her mother. When a brutal Imperial Inspector sentences her family to death, she unleashes a forbidden magic that comes with a devastating cost: her sister is cursed, transformed into a monster.

Desperate for a cure, she strikes a deal with Captain Ren, a notorious monster hunter whose icy exterior matches the unforgiving landscape. He's everything Kira despises-rigid, lawful, dangerous-and unfortunately, necessary for survival.

As the two forge an uneasy alliance, Kira discovers the chilling truth about her imprisonment and that more is at stake than her sister's soul. Now, Kira must risk treason and master her ancestors' wayfinding magic before she loses her sister-and the beautiful world she's only begun to discover.

An epic fantasy for fans of Les Mis
