What if, your entire life, you had been told a fairy tale of the Arctic about a young woman, a daughter of the Wind, being promised to the Bear King? And what if you knew that this was just another way for the people around you to tell you that your mother was dead? This is what Cassandra, the daughter of a man who runs and Arctic research facility, has heard her entire life. She has grown up tracking polar bears on the ice, and it is this that will bring her face to face with her future, when she finds herself before the Polar Bear King himself.

Ice by Sarah Beth Durst is a heartwarming tale of love, loss, and adventure, with a pinch of good humor mixed in. A real page-turner, it'll have you on the edge of your seat.
