Leaf Princess Illyra has been living in hiding since the rest of her family sacrificed themselves to stop the worst invasion in history. She longs to return to her kingdom and rebuild it to its former glory, but as long as the Snow King lusts for power and domination, she is at risk. When the Snow King comes calling, she has to make a decision – make a deal to save her kingdom or fight with everything she has and risk losing her entire world.

Snow King Skylar inherited his father's mission to conquer the world and find the last surviving autumn fae royalty and take revenge for what her family did to their army. He is feared and respected – his heart as ice cold as his kingdom. When he tracks down the last of the Autumn Court, she isn't what he expects, and the king is forced to choose between a promise he made to his father and something he never thought he'd have – love.

Melting the Snow King's Heart

The castle was quiet. Illyra tucked the bundle of sticks under her arms - sticks she’d stolen from the hearth in her bedroom. There was no one outside her bedroom door this late and the guards in the halls were further spread out. Illyra could slip away unnoticed…


Following the same path she’d ridden on horseback, only struggling through the deep snow in her furred boots and cape, Illyra headed back to the frozen lake. Sabriel’s story of so many lost, frozen souls had shaken her. 


The princess dropped the sticks on the ground and arranged them like and pyramid. With a flick of her wrist, the sticks burst into flame, a small bonfire bursting to life and reflecting across the sheet of ice that covered the lake. 


Illyra grinned, the warmth of the fire filling her veins like she was back home. She threw her cape off, not caring that it fluttered away on the wind, and started to dance.
