A Red Heart Painted in Winter

Deck the halls with bells and folly, Helen Bell's transformation began after her encounter with Mara Rouge in the Quarrel of Sword and Bone. Winter has changed as well. When a Timepiece delivers a set of three warnings to Helen in the form of a puzzle, she must re-enter a world she thought she had left behind to solve it before facing a deadly fate. However, Winter is not as she remembered it. Bright and colorful things now painted red, and the Patrolman who once promised to stand by her side is battling his own demons. Helen must disguise herself as a Red Kingdom celebrity in order to unravel the Timepiece's mystery and prevent her capture, ensuring that Winter's last Carrier of Truth is not silenced forever.

A Heart as Red as Paint is the second book in The Winter Souls Series, a Christmas-themed collection for teens that draws inspiration from old holiday legends and folklore.
