When a usually prosperous kingdom is caught in the grasp of a cruel winter, the community is thrown into a terrible poverty. How can the kingdom survive when crops are lost, livestock is threatened and families are struggling to get by? As the endless winter continues - and becomes known as a Dark Curse plaguing the land - against all odds some families start to flourish again - showing wealth and comfort that seem to have appeared out of nowhere. But lurking beneath the surface is a frightening truth: that soon after a family miraculously pulls themselves out of poverty, they lose one of their own: a sister, a mother, an uncle, a son. In a bid to save herself from this terrible fate, a young girl called Violet flees the kingdom. But curses can never be out-run, and when, years later, Violet hears the rumour of a terrible winter spreading across the kingdoms, she fears that history is repeating itself.
