"We will have to jump from here." "Jump?" Claire cried in disbelief. "This will have to do," he said, more to himself than to Claire as he climbed to stand on top of the wide, snow covered railing. After a few more minutes he turned towards her and held out his hand. "Let's go." "No," Claire managed at last. "I won't. You're crazy. We'll die." "I know how it sounds, but I need you to trust me, Claire." "How do you know my name?" "I know a lot of things about you," he replied. "I know that you're lonely, that you feel like you're out of place and that you don't belong. I know that if you don't come with me now, you'll never find what you're looking for." Pushing aside her fears, Claire rushed towards the balcony just as the barrier shattered and the darkness spilled into the room. She grabbed the stranger's hand and he pulled her onto the wide marble railing beside him. "Whatever you do, Claire, don't forget to breathe," he said. "Jump, now!" Despite her popularity with her peers, Claire has never felt normal, she has never felt like she fit in, and she has always felt the tug of loneliness at her heart. When a mysterious stranger comes to her rescue, and beckons for her to jump from a balcony twenty stories from the ground, will she be brave enough to take the leap and seek out the answers to the questions of her heart? Inspired by The Nutcracker ballet composed by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky and the Mouse King written by German author E. T. A. Hoffmann, Frost is a tale of woven of magic and adventure, where one girl will finally discover what it means to be home.…
In this twisted, heart-wrenching retelling of the classic, Beauty and the Beast, Briallan, a merchant's daughter, finds herself unwittingly immersed in a world of lies and deception. King Braedon, annoyingly persistent in his attempts to win Briallan's affections, finally succeeds in snaring his prize by offering her something she can't refuse: a away to save her father who has fallen gravely ill. Feeling indebted to the king, Briallan reluctantly accepts his offer of moving into his castle with her father in order to nurture him to full recovery. It's not long after, that Braillan finds herself coaxed into the king's arms and finally his bed. In order to secure his prize, King Braedon makes a choice: to marry her to his estranged brother, Prince Aren. Aren, with his reclusive ways and explosive temper, not to mention his lack luster manners, was the perfect solution. Briallan would have her husband in name, her honor would remain unsullied and Braedon would get to see Briallan whenever he desired. He was quite confident here would be no possibility of feelings to develop between the two and Aren would't dare deny him access. Braedon, it seems, has forgotten one thing; not everyone is as arrogant as he, and sometimes, love can find purchase in even the stoniest of hearts. Will the solemn beauty end up with her broken beast? Will the sweet and chivalrous Ezra, who's been there from the start, stand in their way? Or, will Briallan stay true to her vow to never love again? Only time will tell how this fairy tale plays out, and Briallan might learn something very important along the way; a rose is only as strong as it's thorns.Special Thanks to @DreamingBelieving for helping me write the blurb! It was a beast but we conquered it *hearts*…
