An ambitious lady warrior. A corrupt family. A risky love affair. Following A Winter of Fish and Favor, Tinsa Gaurjo’s story concludes in this second half of the Heroine’s Luck duology.

Frustrated by the need for continual, unjust compromises, Tinsa Gaurjo has returned to work. Yet her Housemaster has set her a task for which she is ill-suited. Does he want her to fail—or does he trust her more than anyone else? She wishes she knew.

Luckily, this grim winter contains a few bright lights. Her goofy younger brother is preparing for a competition with one of his peers. And Tinsa is deep into a love affair with a man whose very presence in her life could ruin her ambitions. But is Biaili Erdai a villain with an ulterior motive, a loyal paramour—or just a distraction from everything she really wants?

As winter draws to an end—and matters with her House come to a head—she will have to face the terrible question all heroes who live long enough must face: how figure out her own, real-life happily-ever-after.

For Tinsa, it will all come down to the roll of the dice….
