Cradle of Ice

Sent to the freezing, black-stone fortresses of the North to solidify a political alliance, Hannah stands out like a fragile sun with her rare blonde hair and blue eyes. Her new husband, a handsome but pragmatic prince, treats her with distant honor rather than cruelty, navigating a culture where survival is paramount and children are a tragic, near-impossible rarity. Amidst deep culture shock, their emotional distance breaks when he tenderly weaves her wild hair into a traditional northern braid—a quiet act of care that sparks a slow-burn romance and sets the stage for a miraculous pregnancy that will soon upend the entire kingdom.
