A gorgeous sapphic Ice Queen retelling where a repressed ice princess and a bold dragon heir melt each other's defenses on a journey through a frozen kingdom. The slow-burn tension between duty and desire is beautifully done.
Synopsis
Living in a kingdom cursed by endless winter isn’t a fairy tale... it’s a desperate, deadly fight to survive. Princess Elsie has spent years burying her forbidden ice magic beneath a mask of royal duty, terrified that discovery means exile. When she's forced to escort the enigmatic dragon heir through her frozen kingdom, every moment threatens to shatter the careful control she's built around her heart—and her deadly secret. Ember, the bold dragon heir with her lilting brogue and piercing gaze, sees through Elsie's walls in ways that both terrify and thrill her. As they journey through a land that no longer remembers warmth, Elsie finds herself torn between the safety of isolation and the dangerous pull of someone who might actually understand the fire burning beneath her icy exterior. Together, they uncover buried truths and power that could restore spring—but the deeper they dig, the more Elsie realizes that saving her kingdom might mean embracing the very magic she's feared. With political enemies closing in and her feelings for Ember growing impossible to ignore, Elsie must will she risk everything for love and her people, or let fear freeze her heart forever? Of Air and Wrath is book 4 of the Five Queens Prophecy. It is a retelling of the Ice Queen with dragons.
