From the Number 1 New York Times bestselling author Brandon Sanderson comes a
standalone C osmere novel of demons and destiny.
In a forgotten land sustained by colorful rivers of demon blood, a child was born in the
last cold hour of the last cold day of the last cold month. Let us call her December.
As an orphaned foundling, December grew up doing her best to fit into the roles society
prepared for her. But after a transformative experience, she learns a cataclysmic plague
is on the way, one that will curdle the blood rivers and ravage the kingdom.
But who will believe her, a poor woman from a small town on the riverbank? Against
impossible odds, she sets sail up the River Violet to warn the king''s court, determined to
stop a devastating destiny. Armed only with her wits and accompanied by her new friends
- a chatty priestess and a fledgling fashion designer - December must navigate
incredulous royal officials, twisted court intrigue, and a roguish count who might hold the
key to her quest . . . and her heart.
In the cold days of her youth, society knew what to do with December. But now her eyes
burn with wisdom beyond her years, and she will carve out whatever role she must to
stave off disaster.
