A girl escapes a mental hospital to uncover her true identity in a world of magic and danger.
Snow, confined to a mental hospital, knows she doesn't belong. After escaping, she discovers Algid, a realm of magic and peril. With secrets unraveling, Snow faces a royal destiny, a ruthless father, and choices that could alter her fate. Can she trust the enigmatic Kai and navigate a world where reality blurs with fantasy? Her journey from captive to queen begins, challenging her heart and destiny.
From Danielle Paige, the New York Times bestselling author of Dorothy Must Die, comes a re-imagining of The Snow Queen fairy tale. Seventeen-year-old Snow has spent the majority of her life within the walls of the Whittaker Institute, a high security mental hospital in upstate New York. Deep down, she knows she’s not crazy and doesn’t belong there. When she meets a mysterious, handsome new orderly and dreams about a strange twisted tree she realizes she must escape and figure out who she really is. Using her trusting friend Bale as a distraction, Snow breaks free and races into the nearby woods. Suddenly, everything isn’t what it seems, the line between reality and fantasy begins to blur, and she finds herself in icy Algid–her true home–with witches, thieves, and a strangely alluring boy named Kai, none of whom she’s sure she can trust. As secret after secret is revealed, Snow discovers that she is on the run from a royal lineage she’s destined to inherit, a father more powerful and ruthless than she could have imagined, and choices of the heart that could change the fate of everything . . . including Snow’s return to the world she once knew. This breathtaking first volume begins the story of how Snow becomes a villain, a queen, and ultimately a hero. A lush and addictive fantasy woven from threads of magic, romance, and adventure by a master storyteller.
