Denmark, 19th century. Victoria Holstein's childhood sweetheart left to become crown prince. He has now returned, just as she is forced to be betrothed to the dukedom's new captain in order to save her family from ruin. But what if one of the two was related to the sudden disappearances that are taking place and that seem to point to her? Because when the mist lifts, the old legends that speak of a cursed lineage and fairy creatures seem more alive than ever and Victoria's confused heart no longer knows who to trust. A retelling of The Snow Queen between period balls, arranged marriages, loving betrayals and the magic of an enchanted forest.
