Synopsis

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 Alexander in\ Kiev.
At the castle, though, she is surprised to find that Alexander, or “Sasha,” as he prefers to be called, 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?
