The Frost Soldier and the Gilded Duty (The Heartless and the Wicked #2)

Her royal duty may protect her, but all that glitters is not gold.

Kolfinna has survived the Eventyrslot ruins and won her illustrious position with the Royal Guard, but she soon discovers her new life may not be all it’s cut out to be. With the Hunter’s Association gaining influence and more enemies trying to take her status away, she’s one mistake away from losing her position—and her life.

The looming threat of the hunters isn’t her only problem—strange and powerful monsters are encroaching on the border, and when Blár approaches her with a request from the military to investigate, Kolfinna realizes this is the opportunity she needs to prove her loyalty and keep her position.

But the monsters at the border are more vicious and ancient than anyone could have imagined, and the secrets bordering the fae lands may uncover a devastating truth that will change Kolfinna’s life forever.
