The Frost Queen's Blade by Meg Smitherman

5.0

I must say, I'm usually not a big fan of stories starting with a prologue, but I have to admit this book grabbed me right from the beginning.

Elma, heir to the throne of Rothen, raised by her aunts in Mekya, is forced to return to a cold land that doesn't feel like hers after her mother's death. Raised as the future queen, she decides to embark on a peace mission after the king's death to seek help from neighboring countries. However, during the journey, the carriage is attacked, and Elma narrowly escapes an attempted murder, managing to capture the assassin and bring him to the palace for interrogation.

Rune, her enemy by birth, turns out to be the only honest person in the kingdom, even in his hatred. After another assassination attempt and doubts about the loyalty of her nobles, Elma solidifies Rune as her bodyguard, and from there, hatred transforms into respect and then into attraction.
It is perfect for the fan of from blood and Ash, with heroine with list for blood and a hero who is more
I loved Elma's journey from a princess without a place in her realm to a queen, and Rune is a breath of fresh air with his straightforwardness and the spice is reaaaally good
