In the kingdom of Sorana, eye color shapes destiny. Brown-eyed citizens are revered as loyal, noble, and steadfast, holding all positions of power and privilege within Sorana's prosperous heart. Blue-eyed individuals, however, are shunned and mistrusted, sent to the remote, brutal region of Skara, where the freezing landscape mirrors the cold prejudice against them. Princess Liona, the brown-eyed daughter of Sorana's royal family, dreams of unity, a kingdom where everyone is valued beyond the color of their eyes. When she learns of a long-lost sister-a sister born with blue eyes and cast out in secret-Liona's heart is set on finding her, believing this reunion could be a first step toward changing Sorana's future. But as she ventures beyond the palace walls, Liona's naïve beliefs are challenged by the harsh truths she faces. When she finally finds her sister, the reunion is nothing like she'd envisioned. Instead of bringing peace, their meeting drags both sisters into a world of hidden schemes, forcing Liona to confront the darkness within her kingdom-and herself.
