CROWN OF ICE comes out December 16, 2014!
Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event hosted by Jill at Breaking The Spine. This event highlights our most-wanted upcoming releases!
Release Date: Dec. 16, 2014
Publisher: Month9Books
WHY?
This is based on one of my all-time favorite fairy tales, The Snow Queen. While I love that the tale is very big and "in" right now, I'm sad that so many people out there think Disney's Frozen is actually the story of the Snow Queen. It isn't. I'm glad so many books are coming out and sharing the truth.
CROWN OF ICE is from the evil Snow Queen's POV, and tells you exactly why she kidnaps Kai. And Gerda's adventure sounds awesome.

I cannot tell you how badly I want this book. I've had it on my TBR since 2014!
SUMMARY:
Thyra Winther's seventeen, the Snow Queen, and immortal, but if she can't reassemble a shattered enchanted mirror by her eighteenth birthday she's doomed to spend eternity as a wraith.
Armed with magic granted by a ruthless wizard, Thyra schemes to survive with her mind and body intact. Unencumbered by kindness, she kidnaps local boy Kai Thorsen, whose mathematical skills rival her own. Two logical minds, Thyra calculates, are better than one. With time rapidly melting away she needs all the help she can steal.
A cruel lie ensnares Kai in her plan, but three missing mirror shards and Kai's childhood friend, Gerda, present more formidable obstacles. Thyra's willing to do anything – venture into uncharted lands, outwit sorcerers, or battle enchanted beasts -- to reconstruct the mirror, yet her most dangerous adversary lies within her breast. Touched by the warmth of a wolf pup's devotion and the fire of a young man's desire, the thawing of Thyra's frozen heart could be her ultimate undoing.
CROWN OF ICE is a YA Fantasy that reinvents Hans Christian Andersen's "The Snow Queen" from the perspective of a young woman who discovers that the greatest threat to her survival may be her own humanity.
