They call me the Night Queen, with a heart as dark as the night itself. And as such, I will rule my future kingdom. No light shall ever touch my broken heart again.

On her twentieth birthday, the beautiful but arrogant Princess Mina von Rhine crosses the point of no return. Unwilling to be married off to a warmongering Northerner, she defies her father, the powerful King of the Rhine, and ridicules all her potential suitors.

Furious at her appalling behavior, her father vows to give Mina's hand in marriage to the first unmarried man who walks through the palace gates—be it nobleman or beggar. And when an impoverished Northern soldier arrives at the castle the following day, the king stands by his word and offers Mina to him.

This ill-suggested match, however, might prove of use to Mina after all. The Northern soldier doesn’t seem too fond of the marriage himself, so Mina offers the handsome but insufferable warrior enormous riches if he helps her escape into the North.

But the dangerous journey through war-torn lands forces the princess to realize that if she can’t melt her frozen heart, marriage might be the least of her concerns.


From the author : This is a beautiful, dark, and romantic re-imagining of the long-forgotten German fairy tale 'King Thrushbeard' (first published by the beloved Brothers Grimm whose works include such classics as Cinderella, Beauty and the Beast, and Rapunzel). If you’d love to read an adult version of a compelling old fairy tale and enjoy enemies to lovers romances with sizzling passion, then this book is a must-read for you.

REVIEW

*I received a free copy of this book which I voluntarily chose to write an honest review for.

 

This is quite the fun read I must say. We meet Mina as a young princess just as she loses her mother surprisingly fast. This changes who she is inside so she is known as the Night Queen by the time we catch back up with her. Her father announces that is time for her to marry in an effort to end a really long war. Being spoiled and selfish she instead pretty much insults all of her suitors no matter who they are. Fed up with her behavior her father snaps announcing that he will offer her to then next man that enters their kingdom no matter who it is. A poor soldier from North wins the spot but she thinks she can manipulate him instead. This leads to quite the adventure that changes things as it goes along leading to a slight cliff hanger that sets up the next book quite nicely. Made for a rather enjoyable read even if I wasn't familiar with the original tale it is based off of. I look forward to book two. I really liked it so I give it 4/5 stars.
