Kingdom of Snow and Mist

Aubrey Rhys Winter 6 stories

Summary

Once upon a time, there was a kingdom where the days barely existed, and the nights lasted for months. The kingdom was ruled by a regent while the prince searched for his fiancée—the love of his life who would unfreeze his heart and stop the endless winter that had fallen upon them. To achieve that goal, every year, a maiden was chosen to be sent to the palace where she would live for several months. She would have to win the prince’s heart or fall under a spell if they kissed, and his heart would remain frozen. Sometimes, the girl returned after a few months. Other times, they were never seen again. No one knew what happened to them. Even with the terrible fate and responsibility, a party occurred annually, and every maiden of marrying age had to appear before the regent, who would choose the new bride for the prince. In spite of the dangerous fate, all the recently turned eighteen maidens would be excited. Each one believing they were fit to be queen, and the prince would fall in love once he laid eyes on them.
