This story tells about the character winter, who goes to find his sister Icicle who ran away from Jade Mountain Academy after doing some crimes. He goes to the Ice Kingdom to try to have a second chance at being a royal. He then has to fight his brother, Hailstorm. He tells his brother to let him go and to pretend he was dead. That's the most of a summary I can give without spoiling to much. There is much more that happens before and after this that makes the book much more interesting but I'll leave that for you to find out about. Of course read the books before this or atleast rising moon to get a summary and idea of whats happening.

I love these books! When young Star is born a black Pegasus in the land of Anok, the other pegasi wisper about his fate. In Anok, the black Pegasus is either born to bring the herds together in peace, or it is born to destroy everything and everyone. Most pegasi want him dead before his first birthday, not wanting to risk him being a destroyer, but a few adore Star and want to help him. The series is action packed and full of adventure and thrills! Definitely hard to put these books down!
