An ice-elf seeking redemption. An assassin with hidden magic. A promise struck in blood.
Nivia’s god is dead, and she is responsible. A magic amulet could redeem Nivia and free her people, the ice-elves, but first she’ll have to go through the Queen of Mammoth North. And Nivia may be a thief, but she’s no assassin.
Mysterious ice-magic thrums in Thane’s veins. But assassin life never allowed him a chance to seek answers to his ability, until now. After a heist gone wrong, Thane discovers that the one who might hold the answer to his magic is none other but his mortal enemy: an ice-elf, seeking an amulet.
A reluctant bargain is struck, and the heist for the amulet begins. But the bad blood between Thane and Nivia turns to undeniable attraction, and their seething desire begins to melt the ice.
The Snow Thief’s Amulet is the second in a duet of standalone romantic fantasy novels called The Iceblood Duet.
“I am so much more than lost, love.
I am in deep fucking water, and I am drowning.”
Brutal yet magical, The Snow Thief’s Amulet weaves a gorgeous icy romance for two people who think they do not deserve love.
Thane, I absolutely adore his character arc. He starts off so careless and brutal, yet you can always tell there is an underlying reason. Watching him grow with Nivia was everything. With our FMC, Nivia is an ice elf who has resorted to thievery and her ice magic for a greater purpose. She, like Thane, is alone and trusts her strength in herself. However, when these two come together it literally and figuratively is just magic.
I loved the ice magic aspects and the cold, brutal world Rowan created in this one. I also did not expect the epilogue and very curious where she will take us next!
