Frey and the Icy Orchard: The Extended Cut
A Snow Queen Retelling

She is cursed to imprison others. He is captured by her curse. Can he melt her frozen heart or is it too late?

Frey is the darling Autumn Queen of Seasoria, a cozy village nestled in the mountains. Her life is filled with laughter, love, and the promise of many joyous years to come. At least so it seems from the outside.

What no one in her small village knows is that Frey is cursed with a frozen heart, a heart triggered by the change of seasons. She cannot speak or reveal this to anyone so she is left to wander the mountains every Changeday, taking the first person she can find and capturing them in her hidden castle.

Everything changes the day she captures her first love, the man who broke her heart, Kian. Frey feels joy at this victory. Although Kian knows who Frey really is, he also knows how to free her from this burden. After all, only love can melt a frozen heart.

What happens when the maiden is also the villain? Will Kian break the curse? Or will they be trapped for eternity?

Frey and the Icy Orchard is a novella by Scarlett Luna Strange that is filled with autumn feels and cozy seasonal changes through the eyes of the snow queen. This new extended cut boasts beautiful gold foiling and sprayed edges, as well as deleted scenes, bonus chapters, Kian’s POV, and a second epilogue. Get your copy from April 1st to 17th, 2025
