Dragon's Ice: Book 4
After a terrible accident, Freya wakes up in an unfamiliar place. Well, actually Freya isn't even her name but everyone calls her that now. Her hair is snowy-white now and when she is scared she can freeze things... Saved by a mysterious stranger, she finds herself in a new reality with mages, swords, knights, and dragons, where she has to survive and find a way home. And this is not easy since she pays attention to the wrong knight at a tournament without knowing his true identity and also meets with a certain piece of a prince (not prince charming at all). Enrolled into the Royal Academy of Magical Arts, she finds out that both of them are there as well and refuse to leave her alone. But can fire melt a heart of ice? And can true ice bring relief to a dragon?
