I'm so excited you are here and that I get to share The Winter Charlatan with you! This is my absolute favorite in the series (are authors allowed to have favorite books, or is that like having a favorite child?). Rowan was such a fun main character to write, as she is so different from Anika and Cosette. She's fierce. She's strong-willed. She's almost as cold as the ice around her. And she's determined above all else to take back what life denied her when her mother traded her away.This book is everything I hoped it would be, and I hope you love it.
