The Winter Duke is an enchanted tale of intrigue by Claire Eliza Bartlett, author of the acclaimed young adult fantasy novel We Rule the Night. And if Ekata is to survive, she must quickly decide how she will wield them both. If Kylma Above is to survive, Ekata must seize her family's magic and power. Nothing has prepared Ekata for diplomacy, for war, for love. In the space of a single night, Ekata inherits the title of duke, her brother's captivating warrior bride, and ever-encroaching challengers from without-and within-her ministry. But just as escape is within reach, her parents and twelve siblings fall under a strange sleeping sickness, and no one can find a cure. /rebates/2f97803164173342fWinter-Duke-Barlett-Claire-Eliza-03164173352fplp&. The world that Bartlett has created is really. Ekata siblings are busy killing each other so they can inherit the duchy - but Ekata herself wants nothing to do with it and wants to go to University to study biology. Not her books or her experiments, not her family's icy castle atop a frozen lake, not even the tantalizingly close Kylma Below, a mesmerizing underwater kingdom that provides her family with magic. The Winter Duke is written in first person, following the story of Ekata Avenko, daughter of the Grand Duke of Kylma Above. Once Ekata's brother is finally named heir to the dukedom of Kylma Above, there will be nothing to keep her at home with her murderous family. All Ekata wants is to stay alive-and the chance to prove herself as a scholar.
