The Winter King
“We should leave in the morning,” she suggested.
Kristopher turned to regard his future queen. That was how he thought of her, regardless of how tentative she might be. He’d seen what he wanted, and now he was going to get it. He would make sure of it. He just needed to bide his time.
“You said your power will come back to you over time.” She was busy making up the bed in the ice hotel room. It had already been laid with furs and blankets, but she fussed with their edges, moving around the bed t...o un-tuck the blankets from the mattress, which was stacked upon another mattress, which was stacked upon some thermal concoction to prevent the cold from the ice and the heat from the bodies from mixing.
