Cold Queen Kindle Edition
In a cold, empty castle, a young queen is dying.
Weak. Fragile. Disgraced.
But Queen Whitestone is not alone in her final days.
She has her beloved sister.
Until a wicked king rides onto her land.
Arrogant. Insufferable. Demanding.
King Bloodsun has come with an offer…peace in trade for a bride.
He wants the princess.
The fiery king won’t take no for an answer.
He vows to keep the cold queen captive until she gives in to his demands.
A queen bows for no one, though.
Not even when she’s frail and fading away.
She’ll tap into her strength, protecting the only family she has left.
The king is about to learn why they call her the cruel one…

I've read and loved a couple of K. Websters contemporary novels this year, and while I couldn't make as strong a connection with the characters in this (very adult) fairy tale, it was a fast-paced and entertaining read. Recommended.
Without giving too much away, Elzira becomes the person she was always destined to be. I got sucked into this story and loved Ryke. The interactions between him and Elzira were brilliant. The snarky and witty banter between both characters was so much fun to read. Ryke is a strong alpha male who takes charge and his kingliness will not let anyone get in his way once he makes up his mind. Elzira is also someone who will not let anyone walk all over her. Her strength and resilience was excellent. I loved the story! It was engaging, exciting and exhilarating.

The Cold Queen is Elzira, Queen Whitestone, Ruler of the North Icelands, Commander of the Eyes of the White and The Punisher of the Damned. She is crowned at age 15, after the death of her father - the King and his wife. From there she must learn how to rule all by herself. The one thing Elzira has is her younger sister, Yanna, whom she practically raises and loves beyond anything.
Elzira is the queen of ice with her supernatural powers able to ever bring a chill and turn ice into a deadly weapon. She is the controller of cold. But 10 years later, while she has gained a reputation worthy of her titles and been dubbed the Cold or Cruel Queen, she now spends her days in her tower dying of a mysterious ailment. Her powers allude her now due to her weakness. Only Yanna looks after her while she slowly dies a little more each day.
Enter King Ryke Bloodsun, ruler of the Souta Volcanoes and the Truthseeker. He is her complete opposite. Where Elzira is ice, he literally is fire. Able to burn a man alive with his finger or heat up an entire castle. The Bloodsuns and the Whitestones have never been allies and the arrival of Ryke is not welcome. But Ryke has come with single minded purpose. He intends to marry the princess - Yanna, thereby making an allegiance between the two houses and forcing the cold queen into giving him access to the Hidden Lands past the Norta Layke. He longs to go and fight the fabled Moral War and he will do what he must to get what he wants including holding the queen and her sister hostage in their own castle. Ryke is one dominating, arrogant, sexy SOB but he's up against a take no prisoner's queen.
Elzira may be fading out and slowly dying but she will not give into Ryke or grant a union with Yanna. Their opinions of each other are initially set - she blames him and his army of Volcs for driving the Damned into her kingdom and he knows only of her reputation as the Cold Queen and a cruel woman. The battlefield has been set but in doing so they will discover a lot about each that changes perceptions.
Of course, everything is not what it seems. There is sabotage and secrets contained in the castle, enemies to the queen who go hidden and Ryke as a truth seeker finds himself drawn to the enigma of Elzira and how she contrasts from the picture he had in his mind. He also looks for the truth as to how such a strong queen is almost less then a wisp of a woman now, slipping away. And as said truth seeker, he will not stop until he has both the answers he seeks and his way with what he came for.
This was a fabulously constructed world! If fairy tales had been written like this when I was little then I probably would've been into them big time. K. Webster proves her versatility 100% and I wonder if there's a story she couldn't write. Cold Queen was my idea of a good time and for someone that hates fantasy, I absolutely ate this up and was an addict for each little morsel.
Ryke and Elzira make for not only one very steamy hot coupling, but man, combine the two forces and they are an unstoppable duo - a King and Queen made a thousand times stronger through their connection with one another and the combining of their powers.
Even though it's based on fairy tales, I don't want to give away any of the fun. So that's it for me. It's a relatively quick read with castle intrigue, battles and a war. Whether inside or on the battlefield it was all absolutely yummy and I could not have enjoyed it more!
So I'm going to go with a solid 5***** fire and ice stars with this one. My only regret is that I couldn't stay in their kingdoms longer!!
Elzira a frail, ice queen vows to protect her sister and her lands from Ryke the king of Souta. It is a battle of wills, passion and sheer stubbornness.
I loved getting lost in this world and I'm looking forward to reading more from the Sinister Fairytale Collection and K Webster.
