BLURB
Katya’s power to freeze anything she touches has made her an outcast in her isolated village. And when she loses control of her ability, accidentally killing several villagers, she is banished to the palace of the terrifying Prince Sasha in Kiev.
At the castle, though, she is surprised to find that Sasha is just like her—with his own strange talent, the ability to summon fire. Instead of punishment, Sasha offers Katya friendship, and the chance to embrace her power rather than fear it.
But outside the walls of Kiev, Sasha’s enemies have organized their own army of people who can control the very earth. Bent on taking over the entire world, they won’t stop until they’ve destroyed everything.
Katya and Sasha are desperate to stop the encroaching army, and together their powers are a fearsome weapon. But as their enemies draw nearer, leaving destruction in their wake, will fire and frost be enough to save the world? Or will they lose everything they hold dear?
REVIEW
There are countless monsters in this world. Some with fangs, some who skitter in the darkness just out of sight, some who wear human skin but whose hearts have turned dark as forest shadows. I knew that these men and women I’d grown up with—they thought of me as a monster, too. I wasn’t sure they were wrong.
I really love fantasy book and this my second book that I've read written by Jessica. The story is about Katya, she have the ability to use ice power but she can't control it leading to a tragic event that's why the village people banished her and sent her to Kievan Rus as death sentence. She have a guardian Eagle (Elation) who is always with her. Enter Sasha, Prince of Kievan Rus and the prince who is collecting people with abilities, the rumor says he is building an army.
The prince kingdom was preparing for a war and he needed Katya's ability and also Katya needed Sasha. The story was okay, it was based on Russian Folklore (also the author is using Russian words). Also if you read Beyond a Darkened Shore the main characters makes a significant appearance to.
