AUTHOR'S NOTE: This is a companion story to ICE LIKE FIRE, the sequel to SNOW LIKE ASHES. I say "companion" as it parallels the beginning events of ICE LIKE FIRE -- and as such, you will find a few minor spoilers for ICE LIKE FIRE. If you are the sort of reader who screeches in horror at the thought of a spoiler of any kind, LOOK AWAY NOW. But if you are the sort of reader who flips through the pages of a book, perusing lines here and there before you've quite finished it yet...well, read on, dear rebel reader. Read on. *** SUMMARY: "She was part of Summer, and Summer was part of her, and this land wouldn't abandon her too." Ceridwen Preben, princess of Summer, has spent her life plotting against her brother, Simon, the Summerian king. Simon has embraced the ruling family's reputation for using their conduit to keep their subjects in a state of bliss, and has spent his reign slowly driving Summer into ruin, filling everyone with carelessness and letting them turn a blind eye to Summer's rampant -- and deadly -- slave trade. But Ceridwen refuses to let her kingdom disintegrate, and with the help of her fellow rebel-in-arms, Lekan, she hopes to undo Simon's lethal dealings. But when Ceridwen uncovers Simon's deadliest plot yet, she starts to realize just how deep magic runs -- and that even though her kingdom is one of sunlight, with light, there always comes shadows. *** The first part of this story will appear on Tuesday, September 8. Parts will continue to be uploaded every Tues/Thurs through October 8. Look for ICE LIKE FIRE, out October 13 from Balzer + Bray/HarperCollins!

•{Frozen Novella Fanfiction}• A queen, an unborn child, and frozen woods. This is the story of how Elsa got her Ice Magic... {So you're correct in assuming this is very much prior to the movie}

DON'T READ IF YOU HAVEN'T READ THE BOOK!!!! The characters and setting belong to the brilliant Veronica Roth. This is just an alternate to what really happens. SPOILERS AHEAD!!! What would've happened if Yma didn't give Ryzek the potion and Akos didn't defeat Vas. This is an alternate twist to the amphitheater scene where Cyra and Ryzek fight.

"Odette, wait... will you dance with me?" She's not sure if she can anymore. A short post-movie scene where Merante finds Odette in an abandoned practice room and maybe asks for the impossible.
