In a room where her new blue dress symbolizes sudden elevation, Bronwyn struggles with unfamiliar finery and the discomfort of being noticed. Once nearly invisible, she is now treated as the “Mistress of Whispers,” amid rumors and intrigue following the capture of attackers connected to the queen and prince.","Winter’s Thief  \nThe Winter Murders, Book 5  \nE.L.
