The Frozen Prince

by Maxym M. Martineau

Overview

Dark magic, mythical beasts, undying assassins, and forbidden love—this thrilling second installment in the epic Beast Charmer series is perfect for fans of Sarah J Maas and Claire Legrand

I will fight—for her, for all of us—until I have nothing left to give.

Noc, leader of the assassins of Cruor, may have broken the curse that's kept him trapped for so many years, but the dark magic won't be denied. If he doesn't kill Leena—the girl he can't live without—then his own life will be given as payment. To make matters worse, the truth of his past has fallen into the hands of his enemies, threatening everyone he's ever loved.

And their time is running out.

Leena has finally come into her own as a Charmer and would do anything to help Noc survive. When she learns of a magical creature that may be able to save him, she gathers her courage and sets out for the frozen north. But what starts as a hunt for answers quickly turns deadly, and soon Leena, Noc, and their trusted band of assassins find themselves face-to-face with an enemy more terrible, and powerful, than they could have ever imagined.

Intense, compelling, and impossible to put down, The Frozen Prince is perfect for readers looking for:

• epic YA fantasy series
• a unique premise and a plot to die for
• books like Sarah J. Maas' Kingdom of Ash and Kalyn Josephson's Storm Crow
• high fantasy with paranormal and romance elements
• multidimensional characters and rich world-building

Editorial Reviews

2020-09-15
After the events of Kingdom of Exiles (2019), enemies, conspiracies, and secrets dog beast Charmer Leena and her lover, assassin guild master Noc.

Although Leena’s name was cleared by Wynn’s defeat, the Cruor and Charmers Council alike are no closer to finding Wynn’s co-conspirator, the woman who placed the hit on Leena—a magically binding oath that’s challenging Noc’s sanity as he fights it. Through early flashback chapters, Noc’s secretive backstory is revealed to readers before Leena learns it (to her frustration), and it soon becomes relevant as a complication to their plans with each new person who uncovers it. Roughly a third of the way into the story, they make a plan—Charmers Council Crown Yazmin tells Leena of a beast that could help Noc, but first they must travel to get the ingredients for the lure—and set off on a beast-charming quest. The plot’s twists are telegraphed loud and clear and rely on a certain degree of naiveté and inaction on the heroes’ parts. While the primary storyline is about Leena and Noc’s trying to make their love safe (which includes a couple of love scenes that are sexy without being explicitly graphic), other characters occasionally narrate—with virtually identical narrative voices. While background characters are occasionally given skin color descriptors, the primary cast defaults to White. Immersive backmatter includes a bestiary and a Charmer color personality quiz.

A middling middle book. (Fantasy. 14-adult)
