Aurora Finch lives in Reverie, a village perched so high in the Lost Range mountains that sunlight cannot reach it naturally. Every day, the Starmaker crosses the glacier to pull light over the peaks, keeping the village alive. Aurora knows him only through stories until her wedding morning, when she encounters him in the frozen woods. He senses magic within her and takes her to his ice castle to train under his guidance. The village depends on her newfound abilities. In the castle, Aurora has only an immortal rabbit for company while the Starmaker remains as remote as the dark forest around them. She explores his enchanted home and uncovers fragments of his past. Their attraction deepens despite his coldness. A killing frost approaches the village. Aurora must discover what secrets the Starmaker guards before endless winter consumes everything the Sun cannot reach.
