No light shall ever touch my broken heart again.  On her twentieth birthday, the beautiful but arrogant Princess Mina von Rhine crosses the point of no return.

And as such, I will rule my future kingdom. No light shall ever touch my broken heart again.  On her twentieth birthday, the beautiful but arrogant Princess Mina von Rhine crosses the point of no return. Unwilling to be married off to a warmongering Northerner, she defies her father, the powerful King of the Rhine, and ridicules all her potential suitors.Furious at her appalling behavior, her father vows he will give Mina's hand in marriage to the first unmarried man who walks through the palace gates—be it nobleman or beggar. And when an impoverished Northern soldier arrives at the castle the following day, the king stands by his word and offers Mina to him.This ill-suggested match, however, might prove of use to Mina after all. The Northern soldier doesn’t seem too fond of the marriage himself, so Mina offers the handsome but insufferable warrior enormous riches if he helps her escape into the North.But the journey through war-torn lands forces the princess to realize that if she can’t melt her frozen heart, marriage might be the least of her concerns.From the author: This is a beautiful, dark, and romantic re-imagining of the long-forgotten German fairy tale King Thrushbeard, which was one of the very first stories to use the enemies to lovers trope. It was first published by the beloved Brothers Grimm (whose works include such classics as Cinderella, Beauty and the Beast, and Rapunzel! The Brothers Grimm invented many modern-day romance tropes). If you’d love to read an adult version of a compelling old fairy tale and enjoy romances with sizzling passion, this book is a must-read.This is the FIRST book in a series. The second book, Queen of Ashes, will be released in September! The book ends on a mild cliffhanger, but book II is just around the corner. less
