A young woman kneels before the King to ask for help.
A young Prince sits by a fire, disgraced in the eyes of his father.
The King of Winter sits upon an icy throne, conducting the ice as it invades L'Imeria.

The Celestial Princess
To Ashley's grim misfortune, she grew up as an orphan in a town that hated orphans. For sixteen years, she lived under the hatred of the people around her without ever finding willing parents to love and care for her--and she is not surprised. Now casted away from the orphanage with nary a coin to spend, she walks the icy streets like the lost child she is, struggling to survive from one hungry day to the next. For her, the savory smell of food are no less the wildest fantasies, and the stars that hang above her head every night seem nothing more but twinkling audience to her miserable life. Now that Winter's Eve has arrived--the pinnacle of the year, where people dine and drink and give gifts--Ashley expects nothing but the frost. But when the watching heavens begin to decide, and a golden, shimmering ladder drops from the darkest clouds, she can only do so much as wonder: where in the world does it lead up to?Complete

Curse of the Ice Dragon The Kingdom of Amlak, once a flourishing land of beauty and peace, is plunged into eternal winter when the ambitious Prince Achan unleashes Dahak, a ferocious ice dragon from the depths of Oblivion. Intent on seizing the throne, Achan awakens the creature with the mystical Spear of Gibbor, only to be claimed by the very power he sought to control. The kingdom falls silent and still, its rivers, forests, and villages frozen in time, waiting for salvation from the icy curse that now grips the land. In the shadow of this devastation, Sepheriel, the courageous daughter of King Enoch, rises to face the creature that turned her world to ice. Guided by love for her father and an unshakable resolve, she embarks on a harrowing journey through the Valley of Vengeance, seeking a way to destroy the dragon and reclaim her frozen home. Along the way, she encounters creatures born of ice and darkness, battles fierce wraiths, and unlocks the power of the Blood Stone, which grants her warmth and strength against the biting cold.Complete
A Queen for the Frost Giant (Legends of Rahasia Book 0)
The giant beneath the mountain has awakened after three centuries' slumber and devours some of my fathers' best men every morning. He will continue taking lives, one for every giant our ancient ruler killed to steal his land. But I know this ice giant, this jötunn, as Fell Hallvarðr. He came to me as a regular boy in dreams. He rumbles towards the citadel, tall as five men stacked shoulder on shoulder, I hold out a hand. "Fell Hallvarðr," I call out, ignoring the screams of horror from the warriors around me, "I place you under my royal protection, as the old ways of Cloelia Regina called upon. None of my people shall harm you so long as I live." The people cry out against me, but Fell falls to one knee, dropping me gently to the earth. "Then you shall live, little human-traitor." He replies, "in return for what?" "I shall become queen. And you shall fight for me." * Queen Cassia is a royal embarrassment. People snicker at her, knowing her lungs are too weak to draw breath, much less fight. Her parents fear she will not have the strength to undergo the ceremony to become queen, and that the royal line will have to be passed to an outsider. But all this is disrupted when the giant beneath the ice mountain, thought to be a myth, awakens and attack their city of Ymir. The rest of the cities along the Borealis are in rebellion against the main kingdom of Idriola, and Cassia aims to earn her birthright by uniting them all. * Prequel to "Legends of Rahasia Series" (Priestess for the Blind God, Princess for the Witch Doctor, Pirate for the Dead Goddess). This is the tale of how Cassia became Cassia Boadicea Regina of Idriola, the ruler of blood and ice. The fearsome matriarch of the North & conqueror-queen.

A Gilded Cage | Tales From The Court of Ravaeryn
When Eleanora opened her eyes, she thought she had woken in heaven. The bed beneath her was as soft as angel feathers, her pain melted away. She gazed at the painted cherubs on the ceiling-until her eyes caught on something that did not belong. A bloodied sword. The door swung open. A tall man strode inside, dark hair tousled, his shirt unbuttoned to the chest. Scars crisscrossed his skin, his eyes cold and impossibly blue. For an instant, she wondered if he might truly be an angel. But no-if anything, he was the Angel of Death. "You have awakened," he said, voice low, rough-edged. "Took you long enough. I thought the fever would kill you." "I am not dead?" she gasped, more horrified than relieved. His mouth twitched. "Perhaps you are still delirious." She lifted her chin. "And who are you, sir?" His smile was mocking. "Nicholas de Lavilliers." The name struck her like lightning. Nicholas. The boy in the portrait, except now, he was no boy at all. -- After losing her father in a fire, Eleanora Finley is taken in by her estranged aunt, the Queen of Ravaeryn. What should have been a fairytale rise becomes a gilded cage, as Eleanora is thrust into the Choosing Ceremony, where noble girls vie for the Crown Prince's hand. But Eleanora's heart does not stir for the charming prince. Instead, it beats for the wrong man: Nicholas de Lavilliers, the King's nephew and infamous northern war general. Hardened by battle and scarred by betrayal, Nicholas wants nothing to do with the crown, or the Queen's niece. To him, she is just another pawn. Yet, he discovers Eleanora is not the spoiled lady he assumed. She longs only for freedom, to paint, to live. Against all reason, their paths intertwine, sparking a dangerous attraction neither can ignore. Caught between the duty imposed on her and the forbidden love that tempts her, Eleanora must make a choice: submit to the crown's design, or risk everything for the one man she was never meant to love.Complete

The Song of Ezomia
Christine, Christina, Mitzi, and Andrew thought Christmas Eve at school would be nothing more than food, games, and laughter-until Andrew disappeared. A frantic call, a mysterious kidnapper, and an eerie sense of wrongness led them to a truth no one could explain. Before they could piece it all together, the world itself shifted beneath them. They wake in Ezomia, a realm unlike anything they've known, where magic hums in the air and the sky glows with unnatural light. A silent prince sits frozen in time, a curse lingers over the land, and a prophecy whispers their names. The queen welcomes them, but her secrets run deep. The trials they face test more than their strength-they unravel their fears, their doubts, and their very identities. But Ezomia is more than just a place. It's a story. One that has been waiting to be rewritten. As shadows stir and forgotten enemies rise, Christine and her friends realize they were never brought here by accident. The truth of Ezomia's curse is far darker than they imagined, and the key to breaking it may demand more from them than they are willing to give. The only question that remains: Do they have the power to change the ending? First time writing fantasy❣️❣️![𝐈𝐃𝐄𝐀𝐋 𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 [ PERFECT FIT ]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/362006161-256-k773505.jpg)

Fire and Ice ❅ Hiccup Haddock III [1]
Freydis can't remember which island she originated from. She can't remember her family name. She can't recall the last time she slept peacefully. ...She was too young when the raiders stole her away - from her family, her life, her future, her home. Freydis was beaten down and preyed upon for so many years. She was their slave. She believed there was no good left in the world. Then 7 years after she was taken, a legendary dragon appeared. Black as night and jade green eyes in slits like a cat, the dragon attacked without mercy and faster than you could blink. All that was left in its wake was destruction. The only warning of attack was a quiet but sharp whistle. This dragon found Freydis in the wreckage it created. She thought that was it - she would die. Then it did something she never expected. The slits in his eyes relaxed into orbs, and he nudged her to get up with a purr in the back of his throat. He could smell her injuries and her fear, and he wanted her to get up and keep moving. Suffice it to say, Freydis and that black dragon became friends. He cared for her, and she had his back. That is, until they were shot out of the sky by a stupid Viking-want-to-be. Oh, and forgot to mention she has ice powers she can't control. Thank you, gods of Asgard.
