Winter Cursed

A Winter Grim and Lonely Description

Ismena is the queen of Alain and considered by all to be the fairest maiden in the land. She happily looks forward to the day when she will marry the love of her life and unite two of the three kingdoms that make up Illesya.

That all changes when King Stephan, her fiancé, falls in love with an ice nymph considered more fair than she. Scorned by the man she once loved, Ismena is driven by her need for vengeance.

She makes a dangerous bargain with King Morren, the dark lord who sits on the throne of the third kingdom, Mooraven. With his help, she will bring Stephan down. She does not care who she has to double-cross in the process, nor how many enemies she will have to make.

But her plan for revenge crumbles around her when she finds that she cannot kill a young princess with Stephan’s eyes.

An eternal winter, a chance at a happy life, and a beautiful stepdaughter. The fate of three kingdoms will be decided. This is the tale of how an ordinary girl became the wicked queen.
