"Cold Hands & A Warm Heart: A Tale of Two Sisters" (Book #1)

Crown Princess Hanna Maeland, a whirlwind of fourteen-year-old optimism, stared out at the frosted peaks of Alta. Prince Lucifer's Frost Plague, a creeping curse of icy cruelty, threatened to engulf her adoptive kingdom, and with it, the other six Norse realms. The weight of seven kingdoms rested on her slender shoulders, a weight she carried with surprising grace. Her sister, Aliza, Crown Princess of Gehenna, sought refuge in Alta, her own past shrouded in dangerous secrets that could unravel everything. Their enrollment at Krauxorth Academy, a prestigious magic school, offered a glimmer of hope - a place to hone their skills against the encroaching darkness.

Aliza, haunted by whispers of a betrayal that could ignite a war between the kingdoms, clung to Hanna's unwavering spirit. The sisters, despite their vastly different backgrounds, found solace in their shared destiny. Hanna, fueled by her innate kindness and courage, knew she couldn't rely solely on magic. She needed to understand Lucifer's motivations to find the weakness in his icy grip. The ancient runes whispered of a hidden sanctuary, a place where the plague's source might be stopped, but the path was fraught with peril, guarded by creatures born of frost and shadow.

Hanna, guided by her enchanted brooch and compass, and her fylgia, a spirited canary named Marigold, knew the journey would be perilous.

Armed with her wit, her burgeoning magical abilities, and the unwavering support of Aliza, Hanna embarked on her perilous journey. The path led her through treacherous ice canyons and haunted forests, testing her courage at every turn. The fate of Alta, and indeed the seven Norse kingdoms, hung precariously in the balance, yet Hanna, the ever-optimistic princess, pressed onward, her heart filled with hope and a fierce determination to banish the Frost Plague and secure a future bathed in the warmth of sunlight and sisterly love.
