Blurb

In a cold, empty castle, a young queen is dying. Weak. Fragile. Disgraced. But Queen Whitestone is not alone in her final days. She has her beloved sister. Until a wicked king rides onto her land. Arrogant. Insufferable. Demanding. King Bloodsun has come with an offer…peace in trade for a bride. He wants the princess. The fiery king won’t take no for an answer. He vows to keep the cold queen captive until she gives in to his demands. A queen bows for no one, though. Not even when she’s frail and fading away. She’ll tap into her strength, protecting the only family she has left. The king is about to learn why they call her the cruel one…

My Review

Now onto our devastatingly beautiful Cold Queen herself. Queen “Elizra” Whitestone is Queen of the Norta Iceland’s. She’s the Punisher of the Damned. She’s the Weathermaker and the creator of Diamondblades. But she is also dying from the same mysterious illness that claimed her mother’s life when she was very young. She is cold but she is also fierce. She is loving and protective over her younger sister, Yanna. For many years she has been feared by many, but with her declining health, she can feel her control slipping from her grasp.

The arrival of King Bloodsun completely throws her for a loop. She is rocked to her core when he lays down his proposition to marry her younger sister and merge their two kingdoms into a kingdom of power the likes of which had never been seen before. While he holds her as his prisoner of sorts while they work out the terms of the arrangement, she finds herself drawn to the handsome yet devious King.

What should disgust her makes her hot and melts her in ways no one has ever done before. He sees things that everyone else has overlooked and begins to take care of her, to nurture her and she finds herself falling hard and fast for him. Will she be able to step aside and let him marry her sister despite the feelings she has for him? Will Ryke open her eyes to things that have been going on right underneath her very nose? 

King “Ryke” Bloodsun is everything a powerful king and ruler of the South Volcanoes should be. He is a fire maker, truth seeker, strong in battle, beyond hot, and deep down He’s caring and loyal. When he arrived he had a planned to get permission from the Queen by any means necessary, to marry her sister Yanna and merge their two kingdoms. He never expected to be so instantly drawn to the beautiful dying queen. He being the truth seeker he is, notices right away that something is awry.

Next thing he knows he makes it his mission to seek the truth as to what’s killing his beautiful Queen. He vows to care for her and quickly starts melting that icy heart of hers. Will Ryke fall as hard for his freezing Cold sickly Queen, or will he proceed with the marriage to her sister?

Can King Bloodsun the Firemaker thaw her frozen heart for good while healing her dying body? Will he walk away when he gets what he wants? Is it his ability to make fire that has things heating up between him and Elizra or something else?
