In the sequel to the beloved high fantasy East, Rose sets off on a
perilous journey to find her true love when he goes missing in a

Pierce
When Rose first met Charles, he was trapped in the form of a white bear.
To rescue him, Rose traveled to the land that lay east of the sun and
west of the moon to defeat the evil Troll Queen. Now Rose has found her
happily-ever-after with Charles--until a sudden storm destroys his ship
and he is presumed dead. But Rose doesn't believe the shipwreck was an
act of nature, nor does she believe Charles is truly dead. Something
much more sinister is at work. With mysterious and unstoppable forces
threatening the lives of the people she loves, Rose must once again set
off on a perilous journey. And this time, the fate of the entire world
is at stake.
