A new fairy tale in which friendship is the truest love of all. Prince Nicolas rules the winter of the Northern Realm with a frosty attitude that chills all who look upon him, until the day a warm human woman enters his life unannounced. Lost and without memories to find her way home, Ann finds herself sharing the ice palace with the prickly prince. However, her visit has a time limit written into faerie law, and a deadly consequence should Nicolas allow her to stay beyond it. All Ann wanted was to find her way home; all Nicolas wanted was to be left alone. Though circumstance brings them together, a shared longing to be seen and understood soon ties them to each other, and it is that bond which will decide their fates.
