I haven’t been able to confirm when the second book is due to be published, but I’ll be keeping my eyes out for it. It’s truly a cliff-hanger that left me utterly impatient for the next book. This book has everything – sword-fighting, magic, intrigue, secrets – everything except an ending! Just when the tension ramps up and things started going completely sideways, it ended. If she’s not careful, someone will discover she’s a witch and the same people who executed her parents will kill Askia, too. So does her forbidden magic – the ability to see and converse with the dead. She has no time for matters of the heart while war looms, yet attraction, affection, companionship, and desire still tug at Askia if she lets her guard down. I particularly loved how she handled the various male relationships throughout the book.Īskia has spent most of her life surrounded by men, but it isn’t until she needs to befriend a prince that she understands that relationships can be messy. Typically, only the book itself is included. Kelly does a stellar job of conveying the main character’s driving forces, while also showing us complex emotions and the constant struggles between wants and needs. The Used, Rental and eBook copies of this book are not guaranteed to include any supplemental materials. Death and duty push Askia to demand the world go to war, but when the bill comes due, will she truly be willing to pay the cost? Fans of Jennifer Estep's 'Crown of Shards' series will find much to love in the first of a duology.' (Debut of the Month, Jan 2021)- Library Journal (starred review) 'Packed with deadly intrigue, fierce and powerful women, and high stakes, Greta Kelly's fantasy-adventure debut, The Frozen Crown, is an exciting and intricate series opener. As she seeks an alliance with the southern emperor and his court, her inexperience and impatience isolates her from those in power. The main character, Askia, may be the heir to the Frozen Crown, but she’s a warrior and an untrained death witch, not an experienced royal skilled in politics and scheming. It’s based in an expansive world with depth and history. The Frozen Crown by Greta Kelly is the first book of the Warrior Witch Duology.
