Princess Solveig and her siblings spend winter trapped in a remote settlement. They wait to see if the king's enemies will find them--or if traitors in their midst will do them in. Solveig grows from a timid girl into a young woman who finally finds her voice. It's a slow process, but the courtly intrigue and a vividly realized setting keep things going.
