The Frost Kingdom
Bringing Life, Falling Ash Book 1
by CS Patra
Genre: YA Fantasy Romance Adventure
In the kingdom of Themasa, sixteen-year old Alice lives as a baker with a secret very few know about;
she has the ability to make flowers and leaves sprout out of living things with her bare touch. Over in the
castle, seventeen-year old Princess Lavinia is locked away by her family because of her curse, the ability
to turn living creatures into ashes with her bare touch. The two of them meet and realize that they both
want to get rid of their abilities. Realizing that neither can survive like this forever, Alice and Vinnie
decide to leave their kingdom and find a way to free themselves of their curses.
Aided by the help of a thief and fellow baker Kian, strange spirits calling themselves Light and Dark, a
tiny pet dragon named Elias, and an ice serpent named Madelyn, the two of them start to move out of
Themasa and stay one step ahead of the king's men. Along the way, they learn about the obstacles
blocking them and that they need to cross three different kingdoms: the Frost King, the Petal Kingdom,
and the Sugar Kingdom. In addition to avoiding the king's men, they must also fight against magic as well
as the forces of nature to get their goal.
As it soon turns out, Alice and Vinnie realize their friendship is growing into something more. It's
something that neither has felt before and they want to explore it. The only way to do that is to continue
moving forward and finding a way to touch each other with love.
