between disappointing her traditional Mexican-American parents or following her own path. When she

Nacho's who sees through her hard exterior and asks the questions she's been too afraid to ask herself.

Summary
She survived the curse. Now she must survive the throne.
All Ekata wants is to stay alive -- and the chance to prove herself as a scholar. Once Ekata's brother is finally
named heir to the dukedom of Kylma Above, there will be nothing to keep her at home with her murderous
family. Not her books or her experiments, not her family's icy castle atop a frozen lake, not even the
tantalizingly close Kylma Below, a mesmerizing underwater kingdom that provides her family with magic. But
just as escape is within reach, her parents and twelve siblings fall under a strange sleeping sickness, and no
one can find a cure.
In the space of a single night, Ekata inherits the title of duke, her brother's captivating warrior bride, and
