Story Notes

Summary

For six years, Charlotte has been running. Running from the fire that destroyed her home. Running from the night her family was slaughtered. Running from the name she buried alongside them. In the frozen kingdom of Northreach, she has built a quiet life among strangers who became family. Hidden beneath the scent and status of an omega, Charlotte has spent years pretending to be no one at all—a servant, a worker, a ghost. Safe. Forgotten. Until the day a delegation from Stonehaven arrives. Among them is a man with storm-gray eyes who asks too many questions and seems determined to unravel every secret she has fought to keep hidden. The more Charlotte tries to avoid him, the more impossible he becomes to ignore. But Grayson Blackthorne is the least dangerous thing chasing her. Because beyond the safety of Winter Hollow, old rumors are stirring. Long-buried truths are resurfacing. And somewhere in the shadows, powerful people are beginning to suspect what Charlotte has spent six years hiding: The last heir of House Saltcall survived. As kingdoms shift toward the brink of war and the ghosts of the past refuse to stay buried, Charlotte must decide how much she is willing to sacrifice to protect the people she loves. Even if it means losing them. Even if it means becoming The Sun Of Nine.
