A Daughter of Winter

The Scented Court, Book 3

By: A.L. Knorr

Narrated by: Manon Kahle

Love does not rest, but neither does evil.

With the end of the Midwinter Festival life in Solana was supposed to quiet down, but turmoil reigns instead. The Calyx are on strike while their familiars are in quarantine. Sasha and Rialta await trial, separated from Jessamine by a bureaucracy she is determined to overcome—even if it means bending the rules. Çifta is frozen in a pillar of ice and only Laec seems interested in trying to save her… But inside the ice Çifta must pass a magical test to win her life.

While citizens are distracted by the drama permeating their personal lives, sinister threats loom from both the East and the North, and one of them strikes without warning. A tale with more twists and turns than a mountain pass, is war inevitable, or will love conquer all?

A Daughter of Winter is the epic-length third book in The Scented Court YA noblebright fantasy series by an award-winning author. If you like independent heroines, animal and insect characters, slow-burn romance, and twists you won't see coming, then you’ll love A.L. Knorr’s dreamy but dangerous otherworld.

Love this series so much!!

This book series continues to get better with each book. Twists I didn't see coming, and loved learning more about Cifta! Highly recommended!

character development

Amazing. So much happens in this book of the series. Each main character has huge movements in their development and the twists and turns keep coming. I am so eager for the final conclusion!!

A gripping fantasy in a world conjured so effectively it seems real

This series is epic and gripping. Can’t wait to read the Prince of Autumn. The Daughter of Winter is another fantastic installment in the Scented Court series. I’m already sad that there are only 4 in the series!

A Fun Fae Fascination

I've always wanted to try this and finally got the chance by accident. Surprisingly, I don't mean this book or even author but reading a book with out knowing its past. I came into The Scented Court with this book, book three, and yet it was still done super well! I didn't read everything when picking out this book and stepped into the middle of a story, but the way A.L Knorr presents it I wasn't actually lost and could figure out pieces of lore from the story's flow without even needing a recap chapter.
This continuation of The Scented Court featured Jessamin, Sasha, Lake, and Chifta with a few important cameos from beyond Solana. Sarah's trial for protecting Lady Chifta, Chifta discovering herself, Jess doing everything possible to help Sasha, and Lake doing his best for Chifta. We see Chifta history with her, Jess get rules changed with her friends, Lake getting freezer burn, and Sasha rewarded for his alleged murder.

Brrr

I absolutely love this series! This is one of my favorite authors and I can’t recommend any of her books nearly enough, everything Abby writes is a masterpiece. I have read this book twice, as well as listened to the audiobook at least three times now!! This is my favorite in The Scented Court series. If you weren’t hooked by the first two (impossible), A Daughter of Winter will absolutely have your full attention.
