Most of Edalirwen knows the Queen as she would like for them to know her. But below the surface lies secrets, deceit, and heartbreak. Blessed by the Fates with the favored gift of ice, Aelita was already destined for a higher life. Or so was the belief. As her life unravels and everything she fought for taken, Aelita must choose her path, a path that will affect Edalirwen and everything after. How does a simple peasant girl become a force worth reckoning with? How does a kingdom crumple with manipulation? How does one life of discontent bring down another's who has yet to begun? This is Aelita's story, a story of a heart turned to ice. [Book 2.5 in the Twisted Souls Series]
