Starfall

Come away with the perpetual wanderer on a journey through ice!

In defiance of her mother, Tierahna (Tierney, if you want to stay in her good graces) runs away from the Keep. For the first time, she strikes out on a journey for self-fulfillment alone. Or else she will become a victim to her mother's machinations. Traditions, restrictions, and oh yeah, a mother stronger than gale-force winds have held her back all her life, making her greener and pricklier than thistledown. 

A scheme to open the borders of their isolated land is the catalyst to her meeting an exile. One who is an anathema to every rule she's been taught and sets her on a course no one foresees. 

The pampered princess of the land has not had enough experience to know how to handle a foreigner who has already snaked across their border. He comes crashing into her life and deceives her in everything he does. On a harrowing trip across the lands, she picks up hangers-on and endures conflicts and other lands with agendas that can kill them, which forces her to rely on him against her better judgment-all while in a body advancing with powers that she has no control over, her family's secrets unraveling and everything she's ever known changing. Tierney latches on to the foreigner as the fate of her land is thrown into her hands.
