Thyra Winther's
seventeen, the Snow Queen, and immortal, but if she can't reassemble a
shattered enchanted mirror by her eighteenth birthday she's doomed to
spend eternity as a wraith. Armed with magic granted by a ruthless
wizard, Thyra schemes to survive with her mind and body intact.
Unencumbered by kindness, she kidnaps local boy Kai Thorsen, whose
mathematical skills rival her own. Two logical minds, Thyra calculates,
are better than one. With time rapidly melting away she needs all the
help she can steal. A cruel lie ensnares Kai in her plan, but three
missing mirror shards and Kai's childhood friend, Gerda, present more
formidable obstacles. Thyra's willing to do anything – venture into
uncharted lands, outwit sorcerers, or battle enchanted beasts -- to
reconstruct the mirror, yet her most dangerous adversary lies within her
breast. Touched by the warmth of a wolf pup's devotion and the fire of a
young man's desire, the thawing of Thyra's frozen heart could be her
ultimate undoing. CROWN OF ICE is a YA Fantasy that reinvents Hans
Christian Andersen's "The Snow Queen" from the perspective of a young
woman who discovers that the greatest threat to her survival may be her
own humanity. - (source)
Fairytale retellings are the bestest. Plus, look at that cover and the promise of magic. This book is made for me.
