But under the watchful eyes of the current monarch and the court's seasonal ministers, Clarion has little time to dwell on daydreams while the days to her coronation dwindle away.

But as their alliance warms to something more, they will discover there is a reason a warm-season fairy and a winter fairy must not be together.
