Meira narrates this novel in first person present tense. Meira’s story continues in Ice Like Fire and Frost Like Night. Snow Like Ashes is the first book in Raasch’s Snow Like Ashes trilogy. The mission doesn’t go as planned thrusting Meira and her friends on a dangerous path toward unknown magic, risky alliances, and a destiny Meira never could have imagined in Snow Like Ashes (2016) by Sara Raasch. When the refugees have a solid lead on part of the Winterian locket, Meira impetuously strikes out to steal it back. Meira is determined to prove her worth among her band and show that she can and will do whatever it takes to save Winter and to protect Winter’s heir, Mather–the boy Meira loves even though she knows he will need to forge a powerful alliance for Winter with his marriage to someone more influential and powerful. Her memories of Winter come from the stories of her older companions, leaving the ruined kingdom feeling more like a concept than a home. Meira has lived among the refugees for most of her life. They have spent the years since hiding, training, and following any clue that might bring them closer to reclaiming their lost kingdom. The Winterians were captured and enslaved during the invasion and the kingdom was left without a ruler or the locket that serves as a vessel for its magic.Įight survivors escaped that day.
