The Tsarina of Snow by Lizzie Joy Broschat
Once, there was an empress. After losing her crown and her family to a country that ran red with the blood of revolution, she let her spirit be consumed by the cold of winter until all she could remember was her wish to find her beloved son.
Once, there was a little boy. All he had ever wished for was a home, a place of warmth and comfort, a place where he didn’t have to worry about whether or not food would be on the table every day. And he seemed to get his wish handed to him on a silver platter in the form of a lovely lady dressed in snowflakes and jewels.
Once, there was a mother. Like any other, her only wish was to protect her little boy. If that meant she had to venture through Denmark in the dead of winter in search of a mythical queen, then she was prepared to do that.
Sometimes, a wish can go too far. It can take you deep into the frozen wilderness or into a cold, dark sleep. Sometimes it can turn you into something you never wanted to be. But this is an “other times” story as much as it is a “sometimes” story. Because other times, a wish can also be the one to pull you into the light.
The Tsarina of Snow is an Upper Middle Grade Historical Fantasy which retells Hans Christian Andersen’s The Snow Queen in 32,500 words.
