Don't get frostbitten while reading this dark, gripping, passionate retelling of Snow White. 

Icelyn, the princess of the Winter Realm, is being used as a tether to unite the Winter and Summer Realms in an upcoming war. As a woman, she is seen as nothing more than chattel instead of the strong warrior she truly is. She longs to prove her worth to her father and people, but how do you accomplish that if never given a chance? When Icelyn's powers continue to strengthen, her evil stepmother decides that marrying her off may not be enough to rid the thorn in her side and takes a more drastic approach. For Icelyn, there is danger around every corner; even the mirrors have ears. To complicate matters, Icelyn learns that she is the fated mate of the King of the Night Realm, a wicked and unseelie fae that will do anything to claim what is rightfully his... When he comes to collect her, her entire world is turned upside down. Her fate was questionable in the Winter Realm, but how will she ever survive in a court of nightmares and ruin?

***

She was mine, and it was about time they learned that. I have sat by idly for years, knowing she belonged to me, and yet, I did nothing about it. I did not want a mate, they were a weakness I could not afford, but now they were trying to join her with another, and there was no way I would allow that.

Ashes Of The Throne | Part I by AWriternamed-ANA

Some people survive war. Princess Sera survived the wreckage that came after. Her kingdom is gone-burned to ash, buried beneath betrayal-and she escaped the ruins with nothing but a haunted heart, a battered soul, and a secret sharp enough to cut her in two. Earth was never meant to be her refuge. But in the quiet, in the chaos, she tried to become someone else. Someone smaller. Invisible. Safe. Then there was Matthew. Arrogant. Infuriating. Magnetic. The kind of man you fight with before you realize you're fighting for him. Caught between two lives, two names, two truths-Sera held on. Until the past came knocking with claws and teeth, demanding retribution. Secrets rot. Kingdoms fall. But some things-grief, loyalty, love-refuse to die. Now, standing at the edge of everything she's built and everything she's lost, she finally understands: survival was never the end of her story. It was the beginning. Because fate doesn't ask permission. Destiny doesn't wait for peace. And if Sera's going down, she'll go down swinging-crystal blade in hand, fire in her lungs, and maybe dragging everyone down with her. Love was never supposed to hurt like this. But neither was survival.

The Frostborn by ACM013

Yet he is not the only threat. The Veil Source, an ancient force long thought forgotten, has emerged from the shadows. No longer in hiding, it spreads its influence, warping the world with its dark magic. Direbeasts prowl the lands-monstrous, primal creatures twisted by the Veil's power. And lurking in the darkness, the Veil Shadows move unseen, consuming all in their path. Crystal and Kallbis must uncover the truth of her lineage before her power consumes her. The key lies in ancient ruins, forgotten archives, whispers of a past erased by time. But as they search, the Veil tightens its grip on the world. The battle for her throne is only the beginning. If the Veil's power is unleashed, not even an Ice Queen will be able to stop it.

Sinister Secrets Book. 3 by AshtonMarie

{Completed} Highest Ranking: #50 in Fantasy (05/19/17) Book. 3 I almost snorted. "You were scared of me?" I looked up at him, but he continued to watch Genius. "Foster, I was untrained and barely coming into my father's powers. I don't think I'll ever be a match for you." Physically. This time Foster looked down, truth shining in his eyes like sunlight reflecting off the polished surface of a lake. "I wasn't scared of your power, little pet." He said the nickname not out of anger or hate, but love and adoration. It was hard to imagine that at one point and time just hearing those words set my blood boiling... Now it was heated for another reason entirely. "I was scared that if I told you who you really were, you'd realize that I was no match for you." ------------ She is no queen.

From the shadows, she witnessed the humiliation and abuse of her parents, leading to her mother's death and her father's insanity. At twenty-one, she's ready for revenge. In support of the human rebellion, she takes on the task of shooting the Fae Ambassador in the back, but North Winterborn has been warned. He glamours her, tosses her into a flying shifter dogsled and whisks her away to Faerie Hawthrone, the epicenter of Fae power, where she quickly learns that there are worse places for humans to end up in than Mondschein castle, that her parents are not who they said they were, and that perhaps she has a shot at getting them back.

Her Cinder Throne (Completed) by ViridianHues

Cole Glassad couldn't care less about the upcoming palace ball meant to find a wife for the prince. Her life is down in the dangerous Sparkstone mines, slaving away for a few coins that her stepmother and stepsister promptly steal. With life a living hell, she has barely enough energy to care for the injured animals she tends in secret, much less a party for the royal family that cares so little for her and the people like her. It isn't until a mysterious man appears out of the shadows, claiming to be one of the long-lost faeries and offering her a chance at freedom, that she begins to see hope. In exchange for enough money to free herself from her family, the faerie asks only for one thing in return-- that Cole attends the ball in order to get close enough to the prince to assassinate him and bring an end to the corrupted royal line. With her mission clear, Cole enters the world of the palace to learn about the prince and find a way into his ball. But dark secrets, violent plots, a strange sense that perhaps the prince isn't as bad as the faerie makes him seem, and a life-changing discovery about her past, all conspire to make Cole's shot at freedom messy and difficult. She must find the strength to get close to the prince, or else the mysterious faerie will send her back to the mines and her dreadful family. Once the clock strikes midnight... she must fulfill her end of the bargain. Once the clock strikes midnight... her hands must be red with the prince's blood.
