A curse to break. A love to take. A sacrifice to make. Once upon a time, a lonely young woman was trapped in an eternal winter, snowbound and friendless, and stuck in a time loop that's destroying her mind and her kingdom. For Astrid, being the daughter of the Snow Queen is no blessing. Her only memories of her mother are of cruelty and absence, so when the Queen returns with a young man named Finn, she's suspicious. Who is he, and why is he here? Does her mother care about her after all, or is this one more nasty trick? And could Finn ever like the real her anyway, or is it just another lie? When scraps of memory and veiled truths start to emerge, Astrid must decide who she wants to be, how much she wants to remember, and what she'll pay to forget. As she weighs up the value of friendship and kindness against the heady sweetness of love and desire, can she break the curse and restart time, or will her cold heart stay frozen forever?.
