A Winter's Promise

After an ancient cataclysm called the Rupture, the world has been split into “arks.” Ophelia is from the ark called Anima. She has the power to read the history of objects by touching them, and she can also travel through mirrors. But then, young Ophelia is set up in an impending marriage to Thorn from the icy cold ark called Pole. From there, Ophelia has to navigate a hostile court of a different clan, and figure out what's going on, and who she can trust. This is the first of four books in a best-selling series from France. I thought it had strong Alice in Wonderland vibes and while not chock-full of action, it kept me interested throughout the story.
