This is the 2nd book in the Winternight Trilogy and carries straight on from the 1st. Vasya, on the run from home is in disguise as a boy. She ends up saving girls from invading marauders and reunites with her older brother. She accompanies him back to Moscow to meet up with her older soster Olga who she has not seen for years. There she falls into political intrigue and deception.
There is more politics than the 1st book but just as much magic and wonder. The book overall felt more grown up than The Bear And The Nightingale which matchs Vasya's coming of age.
The romance is 👨🍳💋👌 I wish there was more of it, for it is just delicious!!
Also, Solovey has my heart 🐎❤
