Engaged to Survive: Ice and a Thousand Blades
About the book
They married me off to seal a royal alliance. I’m a southern princess. He’s the heir of the North—a land of frost, harsh customs, and eyes colder than winter. My new home is no palace. It’s a trap. Every step I take is bound by rules I don’t understand—and don’t dare break. My fiancé’s smile hides too much. Someone keeps trying to kill me. Over and over again. I must survive. I must obey. But I’m learning to breathe in the icy air. And my heart… it beats not for the man I was promised to, But for the one meant only to guard me. They call it an engagement. To me, it’s survival.

romana-romenberg21.04.2024, 18:07From the very beginning, the novel captivated me, how the heroine was riding in a carriage, how it overturned, and the werewolf - it's just wow-wow! You write so beautifully, as if you can feel everything in real life.

xelena-xaid25.04.2024, 03:37Rita Adler, Thank you so much!
tetiana-krip04.03.2024, 15:39Under such circumstances and events, it's really hard not to lose one's sanity. I understand Mia's feelings and even her assumption that death might be better than living in such an environment.
xelena-xaid04.03.2024, 16:07Tetyana Krip, This is true, such a life is simply unacceptable for her...
- anna-mozgova24.02.2024, 00:17
I wanted to read something light, but I made a mistake with my book choice. Tension from the very first pages! My heart aches from such trials. Thank you. I eagerly await the continuation! Inspiration
xelena-xaid24.02.2024, 00:20Anna Mozgova, Yes, "Something light" is definitely not about this book... I must be my own enemy))) Thank you! I'm trying)

xelena-xaid06.02.2024, 13:53Anna Mozgova, Thank you!
iuliia-kompanec04.02.2024, 06:52And the prince is a womanizer, and it seems every one of his official and unofficial lovers wants to kill her!
xelena-xaid04.02.2024, 23:24Yuliya Kompanets, And try to figure out these official and unofficial lovers here)

A prostitute, not a princess... madness, not a palace. The main task is how not to lose my mind. Thank you, I'm curious how the girl will unravel this tangle... and with such attractive help;)
xelena-xaid04.02.2024, 23:24Yulia, Oh yes, wherever you look - it's a madhouse on the move) And dealing with all of this while keeping your mental state in check will definitely not be boring)

It seems that Aren has a mistress. This is quite typical for kings and princes. The marriage with Mia is not for love, but a political (arranged) one. Perhaps this mistress also has magical or witch-like abilities and is trying to eliminate Mia through them.
xelena-xaid03.02.2024, 13:14Tetyana Krip, Everything is complicated and confusing with these kings and princes ;)
