The Frostmark Heir

She lost a crown at eighteen. She has been holding a border ever since. Astrid of Frostmark was raised to rule. Then a cousin she'd never met arrived with a blood-tested claim, and everything Astrid had was rewritten. Ten years later she runs the eastern marches with a sword and a garrison, and she does not want to meet the woman who took her throne. Queen Yrsa has governed Frostmark for a decade and never once been welcomed at her own border. She arrives at the marches with a treaty, a broken sleigh, and a great-aunt's lie waiting to be uncovered. The southern army crosses the pass in the second week. The two of them are trapped with twelve soldiers and one bedroll. They spend two months learning exactly who the other is — and what both of them were cheated out of. The Frostmark Heir is an enemies-to-lovers fantasy romance about being second in line to your own life, and finding a better one anyway.
