One of the most exciting duos writing in fantasy today, Foody and Herman stun in their newest novel, filled with humor and fast-paced action, exquisite worldbuilding, and gorgeous prose.

[A] sizzling romantasy [in] an assiduously detailed, lived-in world and fresh, unique magic system * Publishers Weekly, starred review *
Prepare to be remade or destroyed. A Fate So Cold is a study of contrasts: destiny and choice; duty and desire; isolation and belonging; bitter cold and comforting warmth. With two brilliant leads, a wholly original world, and gorgeous writing, it kept me breathless all the way to the inevitable, devastating conclusion. An instant classic * Allison Saft, #1 New York Times bestselling author of A Far Wilder Magic and A Fragile Enchantment *
