Don't get frostbitten while reading this dark, gripping, passionate retelling of Snow White. 

Icelyn, the princess of the Winter Realm, is being used as a tether to unite the Winter and Summer Realms in an upcoming war. As a woman, she is seen as nothing more than chattel instead of the strong warrior she truly is. She longs to prove her worth to her father and people, but how do you accomplish that if never given a chance? When Icelyn's powers continue to strengthen, her evil stepmother decides that marrying her off may not be enough to rid the thorn in her side and takes a more drastic approach. For Icelyn, there is danger around every corner; even the mirrors have ears. To complicate matters, Icelyn learns that she is the fated mate of the King of the Night Realm, a wicked and unseelie fae that will do anything to claim what is rightfully his... When he comes to collect her, her entire world is turned upside down. Her fate was questionable in the Winter Realm, but how will she ever survive in a court of nightmares and ruin?

***

She was mine, and it was about time they learned that. I have sat by idly for years, knowing she belonged to me, and yet, I did nothing about it. I did not want a mate, they were a weakness I could not afford, but now they were trying to join her with another, and there was no way I would allow that.

"Ready or not, my little snowflake, here I come."

{Completed} Highest Ranking: #50 in Fantasy (05/19/17) Book. 3 I almost snorted. "You were scared of me?" I looked up at him, but he continued to watch Genius. "Foster, I was untrained and barely coming into my father's powers. I don't think I'll ever be a match for you." Physically. This time Foster looked down, truth shining in his eyes like sunlight reflecting off the polished surface of a lake. "I wasn't scared of your power, little pet." He said the nickname not out of anger or hate, but love and adoration. It was hard to imagine that at one point and time just hearing those words set my blood boiling... Now it was heated for another reason entirely. "I was scared that if I told you who you really were, you'd realize that I was no match for you." ------------ She is no queen.

22 parts Complete Mature
The Sequel to The Marked The Frostborn Mages were once thought to be a myth-an ancient race of rulers and warriors who wielded ice as both weapon and shield. Their kingdom vanished centuries ago, buried beneath the snow. But legends have a way of returning. Crystal has always been a warrior, deadly with her daggers and skilled in ice magic. But something within her is changing-her power surging beyond control. When an entire battlefield freezes at her feet, the truth becomes undeniable. She is the last heir of the Frostborn. The true Ice Queen. But there is little time to dwell on her awakening. Racnea, the serpent demon, may be wounded, but he is not defeated. He is waiting. Watching. And he will return. Yet he is not the only threat. The Veil Source, an ancient force long thought forgotten, has emerged from the shadows. No longer in hiding, it spreads its influence, warping the world with its dark magic. Direbeasts prowl the lands-monstrous, primal creatures twisted by the Veil's power. And lurking in the darkness, the Veil Shadows move unseen, consuming all in their path. Crystal and Kallbis must uncover the truth of her lineage before her power consumes her. The key lies in ancient ruins, forgotten archives, whispers of a past erased by time. But as they search, the Veil tightens its grip on the world. The battle for her throne is only the beginning. If the Veil's power is unleashed, not even an Ice Queen will be able to stop it.

A Dance Of Crowns & Thrones | Part I by AWriternamed-ANA
167 parts Ongoing Mature
This book is for those who love slow-burn, chaotic, "how can they be that stupid," "about bloody time," wrench-your-heart-but-make-you-feel-so-good romances. Because what's life without a bit of drama, right? Throw in epic chaos, a princess on the run, and some evil bad guys (because every story needs a villain), and you've got a book that will keep you knee-deep in drama. If you've come here looking for your traditional synopsis, read on, my lovely readers. And if what you really crave is a mix of whump, smut, and rom-com with a side of catastrophe, then look no further-I've got you covered. __________________________________________________________________________ Proper Synopsis When a devastating attack reduces her home to ruins, Princess Sera's only option is to flee. Seeking refuge on Earth, she meets Matthew, the cocky, confident leader of the Allegiant Academy. Little does she know that the man she's starting to fall for is the same person who wields immense power-the one she dubbed 'Ace' and has been her bitter enemy since childhood. But hey, that's not exactly first-date material, is it? Nobody kicks it off with, "Oh, by the way, I have an alter ego who's a fiend-fighting, blood-killer type that hunts savages for sport." Right? As Sera tries to keep her princess status and crystal warrior identity under wraps, she throws herself into becoming someone else. After growing up in war, happiness doesn't just return-it sneaks up on you, like plants pushing through cracked concrete. But when her past comes knocking, threatening to undo everything she's painstakingly rebuilt, she'll quickly learn that truth has impeccable timing-and her destiny has the absolute worst habit of showing up when she least expects it. But seriously, what did she expect? When it comes to life, destiny, and fate, it's never really in our hands, is it? _______________________________________________________________________________
