Elise had been gone to college for three years and never once did she think to go home.
On the summer of her fourth year, she battled with part-time jobs, lacking credits, tons of paper work when suddenly, her mother had lefther sisters on her door to look over for the summer until she returns from an important business trip.
Estranged from her sisters, Elise struggled to keep them together until she wished that they never existed.
And the strangest thing happened, her wish came true. Her sisters disappeared, kidnapped by real-life shrek-like beings.
The next thing she knew, she was spirited-away to a strange land of ice and snow, searching for her little sisters (Of course she's going to search for them, her mother would kill her!) with the help of a grumpy local sentinel, a wolf whisperer and a pervy Legolas look-alike.
With the hope of bringing them back home, Elise was prepared to battle monsters, Ice Kings and even her growing attraction to the brooding sentinel just to get her little sisters back home.
*I dedicate this story to my little sisters. Know that despite everything, I do love you.
