Valérie du Lis has never once considered love as a possibility. As a famous courtesan in Talin's royal court, trained by the legendary Hushed of the shattered High Kingdom, she is well aware that her fortunes are dependent upon giving up on such ridiculous ideas. The arrival of the passionate, poetic noble from one of Talin's Dark Blood families throws everything she has considered true of love into question. However, even as they find their paths, Fate has designs of its own, linked to Valérie's deepest secret: the winter curse laid upon her soul.
