Daughter of Winter by Amber Argyle

Daughter of Winter (Fairy Queens, #6)

by Amber Argyle

Bargains.
Only the desperate need them.
Only the desperate make them.
And always, the desperate pay.

As the daughter of the Winter Queen, the silence and never-ending dark of winter are all Elice has ever known. So when a whaling ship crashes just offshore, she doesn't hesitate to rescue the lone survivor, Adar. But the closer Elice and Adar become, the more desperate she is to keep him hidden from her mother at all costs.

For if the Winter Queen discovers Adar trespassing, she'll kill him.

When her mother reveals just how dark her soul has become, Elice realizes she is as much a prisoner as Adar. Worse, she begins to see hints of something more nefarious.

Unbeknownst to Elice, a bargain was made long ago. A bargain she was born to fulfill.

Can Elice protect Adar from the wrath of the Winter Queen? Or will she be forced to make a wicked bargain of her own?

I really think this book is my favorite in the series, i think it cause i connected so well with the previous books but this time we are focusing on the mother daughter relationship and how Elice is feeling as a puppet of her mother. I liked how we got to watch this personal relationship between Adar and Elice developed and how she makes the choice to try and escape the winter kingdom. We get to see all the dynamics of just how cruel the winter queen can be and Elice gets to show off her power in front of a human it was a very well crafted story.
