Disdain

A single blow shattered my life of glass. They shouldn't have left me with the shards.

Eloise knows the name of her mother's murderer, but she cannot speak it. A curse keeps her silent and locked in the tattered remains of her once charming life. Though magic holds her tongue, it doesn't quell the smoldering spark of her anger or her need to learn the reason behind her mother's death.

However, games of magic have dire consequences. Desperate to keep those she loves safe from the repercussions of her actions, Eloise must make a bold gamble with her safety that could win her everything or destroy her forever.

Two lives hang in the balance. For, if Cinder fails, Snow will fall, too.
