Publisher's summary

Rakel is a princess who should have been queen.

Instead, as a despised magic user, she has spent most of her life exiled on a barren mountain, alone in her ice castle. But her empty life is shattered when an army of magic users invades her home country, bringing cruelty and darkness in their wake.

Rakel refuses to watch as the people who’ve scorned her are attacked, imprisoned, and even killed by the invading army. Swallowing her fear, she joins forces with her jailers and uses her magic in a way she never anticipated: on the battlefield.

But one of the invading colonels is different.

When enemy Colonel Farrin Graydim meets Rakel he is immediately intrigued by her. Her harsh rejection of an offer to join their cause only deepens his interest. He admires her unflinching strength, but his bloody past makes him utterly unworthy to stand beside the purity of her ice and snow.

Can Rakel defeat the invasion and free not only her people, but Farrin as well? For if her magic cannot defend her homeland, all is lost.

Great take on the Snow Queen

This thoughtful and thoroughly enjoyable retelling of The Snow Queen is one of my favorites. The characters feel very real and are relatable in their struggles. I highly recommend this book. It is adventure, fantasy with a nice serving of clean romance.

The readers do an excellent job of portraying the characters and the audio was an easy listen.

Well written, well narrated

Such a delight! Great characters, world building, clean but full of action, magic, romantic moments and fun! Highly recommend

Very touchy feely

The story itself was interesting but it was just too “happy” with highly detailed emotions to the point of boredom and disinterest in parts.

Awesome!

Great narration and story. Love the characters and their depth. Would listen and read again.

QUEEN OF SNOW WITH A HEART OF GOLD

WORDS ARE IN INADEQUATE TO DESCRIBE THE EXCITEMENT WHEN KM SHEA RELEASES A AUDIO BOOK! THE STORY IS ABOUT A PRINCESS WHOM HAS SPENT HER LIFE IN SOLITARY EXILE, WHEN THE CALL OF DUTY SUMMONS HER, SHE SWALLOWS HER FEAR AND ENTER THE FRAY, FARREN IS A MAN WITH A DARK AND HAUNTING PAST, BUT SPARKS FLY BETWEEN THE TWO. AND A MUTUAL RESPECT SLOWLY GROWS INTO SOMETHING MORE. THE ROBBER MAIDEN IS SO MUCH FUN! I LOVED LISTENING TO THE DUAL NARRATIONS OF THE STORY,
THE STORY SHOWS THAT NO MATTER YOUR HISTORY EVERYONE DESERVES LOVE AND FORGIVENESS. THEY ARE THE GREATEST GIFTS OF ALL.


I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS AUTHOR TO ANYONE WHO IS LOOKING FOR CLEAN HUMOROUS AND WONDERFULLY WRITTEN BOOKS AND NARRATED AUDIO BOOKS!
I WOULD LOVE TO SEE THE FOLLOWING SERIES IN AUDIO FORMAT! BOX SETS WORK AMAZINGLY WELL.
ROBIN HOOD. MBRC . KING ARTHUR AND HER KNIGHTS OF THE ROUND TABLE, AND SOME FAIRYTALES! LIKE BEAUTY AND THE BEAST, FROG PRINCE, AND
TWELVE DANCING PRINCESSES!
I WAS GIVEN THIS AUDIO AS A GIFT FROM SOMEONE VERY SPECIAL TO ME.

Great book and great performances.

I love all of KM Shea’s books. This audible performance makes the books come alive! I hope the rest of the author’s books come to audible.

K.M. Shea is one of my favorites!

This was a wonderful series. I love the characters. I wasn’t floored by the reader, however. I am on pins and needles waiting for the Apprentice of Magic audiobooks, which will come out in a few years, after the last book is FINALLY written.

Loved it!

This is a beautiful story of forgiveness, love, and redemption. It captures the heartbreak of rejection and the inner longing for acceptance. There are great battles, powerful magic, and a strong undercurrent of good vs. evil.

The love story is sweet. I like how Farrin’s attraction to Rakel is based on the good he sees in her, her mercy and strength of character, and how that goodness stirs his own desire for light.

The story doesn’t have the humor found in other KM Shea books I’ve read, but rather reads like a fairy tale… which I suppose is to be expected given it’s a retelling of one ☺️

There’s no foul language or sex. The romance is very clean with only a few kisses. There is some violence given the battles, but a strong emphasis on the value of life. There are no references to faith or God.

Great Narration

A wonderful story that I reread every year. I was excited to hear it read aloud. Hopefully, we'll get the entire fairy tale series narrated in the future.

Excellent Story

A story of compassion and forgiveness that touched my heart.
Kitty's stories are always are well written and full of laughs and the narration was well done.
Well worth the listen and it is the full story plus the shorts which is great.
As always thank you for worlds with me 😺
