The Kingdom of Winter

What would you do if you discovered you were the royal heir to an entire season? For Ian, the discovery that he is Prince of Winter is less than thrilling, especially because it comes with a price. Specifically, a price on his head. Lillie, the Witch Princess has taken over Winter and she will do anything to keep Ian from claiming his throne. The journey to save his kingdom doesn't seem to be going well for Ian either. Not only is there a murderous witch trying to track him down, he also has to deal with the three heirs to the other seasons. Sweet and slightly mothering Chloe is from Spring, bouncy but irritating Tristan from Summer, and impulsive and fiery Alexa from Autumn. As the four of them try to get to Winter Castle, Ian finds it's strangely easy to trust people once you've faced a rather unusual assassin, talking wolves, and freaky ice puppet creatures together. Unfortunately, looming on the horizons is their biggest challenge. Ian needs to regain Winter's throne and magic, before Lilith destroys the fragile balance between the four Seasons permanently. But Lilith isn't going anywhere without a fight, and she has all of the stolen magic of Winter at her disposal. Ian only has a small group of mostly inexperienced teenagers with underdeveloped magic along with his own newly found ice powers. He just hopes it will be enough. The Kingdom of Winter is a YA fantasy novel that was previously published under the title Falling Into Winter.
