Rusilya - a country oppressed by an autocratic regime and left isolated by the outcome of an ancient war. Magic reigns supreme and those who do not possess it are hunted and viciously executed.
Young Lizabete Averin, lady-in-waiting to the Tsarina herself, has spent most of her life confined to the great palace of Wintertide. Until one day, everything changes and the power that has burned bright in her veins since birth begins to fade.
Liza must leave behind the annoyingly handsome Tsarovitch, Klaus, and the eccentric alchemist, Raspine and go on the run in a world she barely knows. Though there is a price amounting to millions on her head and half an army after her, the Tsar's men are the least of Liza's worries. A great darkness is infecting the country. A darkness that threatens to bring the Rusilyan Empire crumbling to its knees.
With her life and the lives of so many others at stake, Lizabete Averin must now make a choice. For Liza is now Barren, and all Barren must be slaughtered.
