Publisher's Synopsis
At 16, Mina's mother is dead, her magician father is vicious, and her silent heart has never beat with love for anyone. She never guessed that her father cut out her heart and replaced it with one of glass. When she moves to Whitespring Castle and sees its king, Mina plans to win the king's heart with her beauty, become queen, and finally know love. 15-year-old Lynet looks just like her late mother, and one day she discovers why: a magician created her out of snow in the dead queen's image. But despite being the dead queen made flesh, Lynet would rather be like her fierce and regal stepmother, Mina. She gets her wish when her father makes Lynet queen of the southern territories, displacing Mina. Now Mina is starting to look at Lynet with something like hatred, and Lynet must decide what to do - and who to be - to win back the only mother she's ever known, or else defeat her once and for all.
