Here are the eight candidates elected. And the only thing more unbearable than endless winter is facing a lifetime of springs without the Huntress. There is only one problem-if she can find a way to lift the curse, she will have to return to the life she left behind. Torn between her family loyalties, her guilty relief at escaping her betrothal to the charming but arrogant Avery Lockland, and her complicated feelings for the Huntress, Rowan must find a way to break the curse before it destroys everything she loves. Rowan, who once scorned the villagers for their superstitions, now finds herself at the heart of a curse with roots as deep as the mountains, ruled by an old magic that is as insidious as the touch of the winter rose.
Tall, cruel, and achingly beautiful, she brings Rowan back with her to a mountain fastness populated solely by the creatures of the hunt. The rose is followed by the Huntress, a figure out of legend. On a cold day deep in the heart of winter, Rowan's father returns from an ill-fated hunting trip bearing a single, white rose.
