Exiled into a no-man's land of endless winter, Rune faces danger at every corner. Bloodthirsty monsters, crafty bandits, and soldiers from her former kingdom are all on the hunt for her. When she discovers a commune hidden away in the forest, she also uncovers a long-kept secret that could alter the fate of the realm. Torn between a chance at peace and keeping what little freedom she has left, Rune is forced to reveal secrets of her own and risks losing the very people she fights to save.
This dark fantasy features corrupted monsters, all-consuming cold, risky romance, and the sheer stubbornness of a woman hell-bent on surviving it all.

Thank you to The Nerd Fam for the gifted ARC. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
While not a bad story, I just don't think it was for me. I liked the aspects of the found family and the slow burn romance (one spicy scene). Also maybe my bar is skewed but it didn't read that dark to me lol. The ending wrapped up in a way I enjoyed.
I really struggled with the pacing. It started out okay but then really slowed down for me until towards the end. There were a few times where it felt like the story just jumped and I found myself going back to figure if I had missed something. I think if some parts had been a bit more fleshed out this would have been a really solid read for me.
