She never wanted to be a Faerie Princess. Deor Smithfield just wanted to find out who her dad was, get him to acknowledge her so the magic in her blood wouldn't run wild and kill her, then go home to her career. Well, two out of three might not be so bad, right? But when your father is the King of the Winter Court, and you're the real heir to the throne, things go from strange to complicated really fast. Now Deor finds herself embroiled in court politics, societal power struggles, threats from rival kingdoms, betrayal from allies both outside and in, and at least one plot to overthrow her father and seize the throne. Sometimes it feels like the only good thing in this whole magic kingdom is her dog. Oh yeah, and in the midst of all that, she has to get her magic under control, keep her temper in check, and wrestle with her confusing feelings about the maddening and handsome former heir, or else she's probably going to start a war before breakfast! Winter's Heir is the second book in the critically-acclaimed Eisteddfod Chronicles, which began with Changeling's Fall.
