A Winter's Promise by Christelle Dabos
 
Lose yourself in the fantastic world of the arks and in the company of unforgettable characters in this French runaway hit, Christelle Dabos’ The Mirror Visitor quartet.
 
The inhabitants of the  arks each possess a unique power. Ophelia must navigate this fantastic, disjointed, perilous world using her trademark tenacity and quiet strength.
Plain-spoken, headstrong Ophelia cares little about appearances. Her ability to read the past of objects is unmatched, and she possesses the ability to travel through mirrors.
 
Her idyllic life is disrupted, however, when she is promised in marriage to Thorn, a taciturn and influential member of a distant clan. Ophelia must leave all she knows behind and follow her fiancé to Citaceleste, the capital of a cold, icy ark known as the Pole, where danger lurks around every corner and nobody can be trusted.
