The Ice King's wintry court. A cursed witch. The deadliest Chronicle.

Contact with the Crystal Charm Stone caused deep changes in Dara Martin, leaving her with a power so great, it scares even the elders. This only happened once before in the centuries of the Kin's rule, but Auld Meg's fate is a secret buried deep in the past. Dara has no idea what her own future holds.

Whisked away from Scarp to study under the Venerable Nacthan in Edinburgh, she's forbidden to practice until the elders can understand her new magic. Yet she knows she now has the resources to rescue her mother from the Ice King's grasp, if only she knew how to get there from here.

Her search for answers brings her into the depths of the Edinburgh Vaults to Auld Meg, who'd been cursed by the Kin to write the most dangerous Chronicle of all. If Dara can break the spell and free the crone, she'll be able to find her mother. Of course, there'll be hell to pay with the Kin.

But only if she makes it back alive.
