The second volume in a hugely engaging fantasy set in an ice-bound world with a Victorian feel - features dragons, sorcery and two cousins in great peril

TRAPPED WITHIN A MAZE OF BLOOD, TREACHERY AND MAGIC

Cat Barahal and her beloved cousin Bee think they have a safe place to shelter, but the Cold Mages who conspire to take them prisoner are closing in. The warlord Camjiata believes it's their destiny to help him conquer Europa, whether they want to or not. And the man Cat was forced to marry is back, as vainly arrogant and handsome as ever.

Worst of all, as Hallows' Night approaches, powers hidden deep within the spirit world are rising. Cat needs to figure out who to trust, before she loses everything. Only one thing is certain. When Hallows' Night comes the Wild Hunt will ride - and it feeds on mortal blood.

Cat and her cousin are key players in a drama of dragons and politics. Everyone wants something from them - including the warlord who's conquering all Europa and the Cold Mages who dare defy him. But the Master of the Wild Hunt is most dangerous of all. He will command Cat's loyalty using what she holds most dear.

In a world where science and magic are at war, one girl must save those she loves, or lose everything.
