In THE KISS OF THE SNOW QUEEN, Claire Delacroix puts
her own spin on Hans Christian Anderson's classic fairy
tale. In this version, Gerta, a talented but somewhat
untrained seer, uses a magic mirror in her possession to
send out a desperate plea for help. Her cry is answered by
the wizard Cai, who in an attempt to save her, puts his own
life at risk. True to the original story, Gerta sets out to
save Cai from the Snow Queen's spell. With the help of an
insolent trickster god, she's able to accomplish the
impossible.
Lynn Kurland's A WHISPER OF SPRING is the tale of

Elven princess.
Journey with Sharon Shinn in WHEN WINTER COMES. A
poacher's daughter leaves home with her sister and infant

fear his mystic abilities. A nobleman comes to their rescue
on the road, and the fugitive band seeks a place they can
call home without fear of persecution.
A woman warrior is hired to protect an ex-lover in Sarah
Monette's A GIFT OF WINGS. Broken in both body and
mind, Maur has retreated into himself. Although Agido is no

help heal his psyche. Trapped together in a small inn
during a winter storm, the two begin to tentatively repair
their relationship. When another guest at the inn is
murdered and Agido named the prime suspect, Maur must find
