Jesika Binet is a princess. Born in a world where you are born with a beast destined to be yours when you reach your later adolescence, she was always groomed to become queen of the prosperous, snowy kingdom of Querencia. What she never expected though, was to have to become queen at the age of eighteen. When a mysterious fire murders Jesika's parents when she is only sixteen, she sets out to learn what truly happened to her parents and avenge them. And she's not letting ANY setback keep her from that mission. However, the mission quickly becomes more than she bargained for, bringing things to light she never thought possible, forcing her to realize things are not always like they seem.
