In this version, we have an ugly duckling, elder daughter, Calia Thorne, whose selfish, narcissistic mother can't wait to send her away to serve the Cold King, the fierce but fair ruler of their village. After a terrifying first few days in the Cold King's castle, Calia begins to settle in to life as the Cold King's personal servant. She learns to sew his shirts, serve his food, and even help hand down justice in his court. Despite the luxuries of her own room, hot baths, beautiful clothes, and plenty to eat, Calia chafes at being a slave. However, her natural outspoken curiosity begins to melt the Cold King's heart, until he makes a fatal mistake when she needs him the most.
All the elements of the original tale are here - cursed nobleman whose horrifying appearance strikes fear into the hearts of men, a bevy of faithful servants, a beautiful, outspoken girl, a rose garden, and naughty townfolk, culminating in the curse being broken by true love and forgiveness.
The writing is fresh, and the story charming. Highly recommended.… (plus d'informations)
