An ancient white dragon was never meant to feel a heartbeat again.Ten thousand years ago, storm giants carved out Frostveil the Eternal's living heart and imprisoned it inside a dying star. Without it she cannot die, but neither can she truly live. Now the star's last ember is fading, and the oldest, cruelest dragon in existence has one final millennium to reclaim what was stolen, or finally crumble to frost and legend.There is only one creature in all the planes who knows where the heart-star burns: Lira Emberless, a blind human woman born centuries ago inside the dragon's empty chest. Raised on frozen blood, seeing the cosmos only through Frostveil's merciless eyes, Lira has been both prisoner and parasite for three hundred years. She is the dragon's map, her curse, and the closest thing Frostveil has ever had to a child.To reach the star they must cross bleeding rifts between worlds: a Feywild locked in endless blizzard, a city built inside the skeleton of a dead god adrift in the void, a volcanic plane where fire elementals kneel to their unborn deity, a library whose books scream tomorrow's deaths. Every step of the journey chips away at the ice between captor and captive, forcing both to confront a terrifying question: When the heart is finally within reach, who will claim it, and who will be left hollow?A standalone epic of cosmic horror and impossible love, told in alternating voices of glacial majesty and raw humanity. The Heart of Eternal Winter is beautiful, brutal, and utterly merciless. Some books warm the soul. This one stops it.
