Winter's Daughter

17-year-old Mara has never met her mother. Eva, trapped in the frozen north as half-human, half-unwilling guardian of the old magic, saw her daughter only for a few hours at birth. But now something has happened to Eva, and Dhreo the great fouling creature has sought out Mara. Leaving behind her home and the family that wants to protect her, she sets out with Dhreo and her best friend Karow, determined to free her mother from the old magic that binds her to the frozen mountains, or to die trying.
