An epic fantasy of forbidden romance that chronicles the coming of age of a princess who is possessed by the Snow Queen and fated to rule her kingdom with a strong hand and icy heart.
As a child, Princess Freyja looked into the Snow Queen’s cursed mirror – and was changed.
Now an aloof and difficult young woman with a wit as sharp as her tongue, the future monarch is in need of a tutor. And Ambrose, a failed poet, is in need of a teaching position. He just never suspected how dangerous the extracurricular activities would be!
Soon, Ambrose finds himself on a grand adventure fighting to save the vexing but alluring princess from the court occult conspiracies that have targeted her. He is opposed not only by sorcerers and the evil Snow Queen, but also the icy royal damsel who holds his heart.
Will Ambrose’s love cause Freyja to thaw…or will she put him in the deep freeze instead?
Sensuous, suspenseful, supernatural and filled with witty banter, this romantic fantasy will both turn up the heat and leave you thoroughly frost smitten!

Summary
From: Carol Pennington
Book Title: Portrait of a Snow Queen
Book Author: Micah S Harris
What do you like about this book:
Freyja is a princess. She is also convinced she has a curse and has become possessed by the Snow Queen as revenge upon her father for killing the Snow Queen’s Daughter. Ambrose has been hired to tutor the Princess to prepare her to take the role of Queen in just over three years. It is obvious from their first encounter that Ambrose has a very tough job before him, but he desperately need the job, thus he begins his journey.
It took me a while to finish this book. It is a long book, but it is also a book that you will want to be involved in and keep your concentration upon because it is not a light read. I had put the book aside at one point and when I resumed reading it, I found I needed to start again from the beginning. It is an extremely good and intense book. Not all of it is believable, but it is what one would expect from a fantasy book. I loved the banter between the characters in the book.
This book would not be appropriate for young readers as there is some graphic violence, adult situations and a handful of curse words. I would recommend it to adults who like fantasy and romance in a story that is intricate and awesomely interesting.
