Iliana is the Queen of the Ice Maidens, a matriarchal society of women warriors and diplomats who live in the tundra. When she ventures off to the main lands with Jemal, a handsome magician, the evil trolls that attack them are the least of Iliana's worries: Jemal is her former lover, and try as she might, she finds her icy resolve melting in the face of his warm courage... and renewed passion.
WARNING: This 10,328-word (about 52 pages) novelette is a steamy read that features explicit scenes of passionate lovemaking in a medieval fantasy setting and may be too much for timid readers!
