Of course, you can also order the paperback tomorrow and get the sticker that way — just remember to submit your receipt or another proof of purchase. Getting back to today's book, we're currently celebrating Of Ice and Roses by Heather M. Elliot. I have a special sneak peek of this book to share here on the blog, but you can also visit Light and Shadows to get my thoughts on the story.

About . . .

Of Ice and Roses

The shadow of war hangs over Forstur. In a kingdom where magic is seldom encountered, a conflict with their magic-wielding eastern neighbors would be a disastrous. Gemma finds unexpected love in Forstur's crown prince, Ebenezer, but as her fairytale starts, the rest of her world comes crashing down.

Long held secrets come to light and Gemma learns she has been at the center of the brewing war for almost half her life. A lost friend she barely remembers is the key to gaining vital intelligence that could help her new husband defend their kingdom. There's a problem - the last sighting of her friend was in the magically-formed glacial regions of their foe, the kingdom of Morforst.

Now Gemma must leave everyone she loves and journey beyond the enemy's borders to rescue her friend from the spellcasters who control the region. The journey promises to be fraught with danger - highwaymen, river monsters, spellcasters, and the elements. With each new danger, she must decide what she is willing to sacrifice for the fate of two kingdoms.

Of Ice and Roses Snippet

“There aren’t roses in the garden,” Gemma objected without thought but immediately something important gnawed at the back of her mind. “What are roses? Why don’t I know what they are?” She reached out slowly to touch the nothing. Something invisible but velvety brushed her fingertip and she recoiled her hand. She explored the emptiness around Romelda’s hand and felt the unmistakable shape of a flower. Her voice trembled when she spoke. “Why can’t I see the flower?”

“My beautiful, scared little girl. I had to. You were going to die if I didn’t.”
