Winter, 1844. Beneath the icy veneer of North Pond, where snow cloaks the world in stillness, Cynthia “Cindy” Grant endures a life of quiet suffering. Tormented by her drunken father, stepmother’s sharp tongue and her twin stepsisters’ relentless cruelty, her survival has been a delicate dance of endurance and quiet defiance. In this spellbinding and ruthless dark romance tale Cindy's forbidden desires, long suppressed, ignite into a fire she cannot control, consuming her as the lines between terror, betrayal, the seductive power of obsession and the dangerous allure of vengeance blur. Bold, sensual, and haunting, this is for the mature readers who enjoys dark fairytales.
