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

After another day of useless negotiations that just took the kings and queens in circles, Illyra was happy to return to her daughter. Rowan was growing fast, like all fae children, and she was already crawling and trying to sound out words. 


“There’s my girl,” Illyra said, scooping Rowan up in her arms. Illyra blew a raspberry on her belly and tickled her. 


Rowan giggled and kicked her legs. She was a very willful, independent child and only tolerated being held for a few moments before whining and kicking to get down. 


Illyra folded her legs and sat down on the nursery floor. She shook a toy in front of Rowan and the child grabbed at it, making all kinds of sounds that weren’t actual words. 


“She has your hair,” Skylar commented, coming into the nursery. 


“And your attitude,” Illyra said with a laugh. 


Skylar took a knee beside her and put a hand on her back. She smiled at him briefly before returning to play with her daughter.
