What to expect

Mad Max: Fury Road meets Frozen in this striking YA fantasy about a rig driver’s journey to save her friend.

Twice-orphaned Sylvi has chipped out a niche for herself on Layce, an island cursed by eternal winter. Alone in her truck, she takes comfort in two things: the solitude of the roads and the favor of Winter, an icy spirit who has protected her since she was a child.

Sylvi likes the road, where no one asks who her parents were or what she thinks of the rebels in the north. But when her best friend, Lenore, runs off with the rebels, Sylvi must make a haul too late in the season for a smuggler she wouldn’t normally work with, the infamous Mars Dresden. Alongside his team—Hyla, a giant warrior woman and Kyn, a boy with skin like stone—Sylvi will do whatever it takes to save her friend.

But when the time comes, she’ll have to choose: safety, anonymity, and the favor of Winter—or the future of the island that she calls home.

Critics Review

Winter, White and Wicked transported me on a gritty, action-packed, and atmospheric journey across a wickedly glacial landscape, and I can’t wait to return again!”

A. G. Howard, #1 New York Times and internationally bestselling author

“This refreshing read takes you down the treacherous ice roads of Layce and stays with you long after the journey.”

Adrienne Young, New York Times bestselling author

“I didn’t know I needed a story that was half Mad Max: Fury Road and half Frozen-meets-Ice Road Truckers, but I did, and so do you.”

C. J. Redwine, New York Times bestselling author

“A story that’ll sink into your bones. The world is wholly unique, imaginative, and dangerous, the magic beautiful, but with bite.”

Isabel Ibañez, author of Woven in Moonlight

“A rare mix of equal parts lushly mysterious world-building and heart-pounding action. It will give you all the feels.”

Maxine Kaplan, author of The Accidental Bad Girl
