Valor is under arrest for the attempted murder of the crown prince. Her parents are outcasts from the royal court, her sister is banished for theft of a national treasure, and now Valor has been sentenced to life imprisonment at Demidova, a prison built from stone and ice.
But that’s exactly where she wants to be. For her sister was sent there too, and Valor embarks on an epic plan to break her out from the inside.
No one has escaped from Demidova in over three hundred years, and if Valor is to succeed she will need all of her strength, courage and love. If the plan fails, she faces a chilling fate worse than any prison ...
An unforgettable story of sisterhood, valour and rebellion, Prisoner of Ice and Snow will fire you up and melt your heart all at once. Perfect for fans of Katherine Rundell, Piers Torday and Cathryn Constable.
The story starts out with our main character Valor just after her sister has been arrested for stealing a price jewelry box. We are plunged right into the midst of the action and are pulled along as Valor works a crafty plan to free her sister from a prison no one has escaped in over 300 years. Their are echo of frozen in the amount of sisterly love Valor shows for her dear younger sister Sasha. Their not a whole lot of world building that is set up the story moves along a great pace so that the main audience that the story is meant for does not get bogged down in the details and is very easily drawn to turn the next page to see where the action goes. I am intrigued and wonder if we get more story as the main objective is achieved it not quite where i thought the story was going to go. Thanks to Bloomsbury for the opportunity to read and review this wonderful book.
