Frozen Crown

A princess with a powerful and dangerous secret must find
a way to save her country from ruthless invaders in this exciting debut
fantasy, the first novel in a thrilling duology packed with heroism, treachery,
magic, and war.

"Propulsive and intricate, Greta Kelly has constructed a
world of twisting politics and thrilling magic following a heroine who is both
clever and uncompromising, but ultimately, has heart. A stellar read that I
thoroughly enjoyed." --Emily Duncan, New York Times bestselling author of
Wicked Saints

Askia became heir to the Frozen Crown of Seravesh because of
her devotion to her people. But her realm is facing a threat she cannot defeat
by sheer will alone. The mad emperor of the Roven Empire has unleashed a horde
of invading soldiers to enslave her lands. For months, her warriors have waged
a valiant, stealth battle, yet they cannot stop the enemy's advancement.
Running out of time, she sets sail for sun-drenched Vishir, the neighboring
land to the south, to seek help from its ruler, Emperor Armaan.

A young woman raised in army camps, Askia is ill-equipped to
navigate Vishir's labyrinthine political games. Her every move sinks her deeper
into court intrigues which bewilder and repel her, leaving her vulnerable not only
to enemies gathering at Vishir's gates, but to those behind the palace walls.

And in this glittering court, where secrets are worth more
than gold, Askia fears that one false step will expose her true nature. For
Askia is a witch gifted with magical abilities--knowledge that could destroy not
only her life but her people. As her adversaries draw closer, Askia is forced
to make an impossible choice--and no matter what she decides, it may not be
enough to prevent Seravesh's fall.
