Let the carriage to a royal ball wait. There is a story to be told: of a starless night, a mother and her sick son, and a mortal who falls in love with the snow god, and will do anything to have her… So I brought Bridge of Snow this mainly to keep me going until the next book in the series comes out (soon, ever so soon!).

The story is beautiful and […]
