On Gilded Waters by Ava Smiddy
The shimmer of snowfall can hide all manner of black and rotting things.
Adeline may be the Snow Queen’s chosen heir, but she can’t set foot in her own kingdom without risking her life. Her family is not what it was. Her romance with the Merrow King is in ruins. And her new home in Dhalias holds just as many secrets as the one she left behind.
Kai has been gifted a single chance to right his many wrongs, and he intends to take it. But beyond these gilded shores are waters as deep and treacherous as the ice that once held him captive. And within them, a long-lived people who know his story by heart.
With a cruel new Queen to serve and his dearest friend in hiding, Gerard finds it harder than ever to read those around him. It could be all too easy to let the creeping chill numb his heart to the horrors he’s forced to witness. It could be all too easy to drown, if he wasn’t already falling.
With the story of the Silver Kingdom re-written, menacing powers loom and ancient truths are uncovered. Now Kai, Adeline and everyone they love must reckon with the world shaping forces of frost and folklore, all the while guarding their hearts… and a vulnerable new magic rousing in their midst.
On Gilded Waters is a fantasy romance with fairytale themes and a dash of spice. This is book two in the Duet of Snow and Silver.
