Bitter Snow

The Bitter Snow Series: A modern-day story of myth, magic and the power of love, based on Hans Christian Andersen’s “The Snow Queen”
Volume One: Bitter Snow

Whatever you do, don’t open the door... It’s St. Nicholas’s Eve, the ancient festival of Bellsnichol, when demons roam the dark winter night. In the tiny town of Bremerton, tradition demands that everyone stay inside, barring the doors to keep evil at bay.

Gilly Breslin doesn’t believe in demons—or old superstitions. It’s her sixteenth birthday, and Kai, the boy she’s been in love with forever, has finally started treating her as more than just the girl next door. When she receives a mysterious, romantic invitation to meet him at midnight, she sneaks away from the town celebrations and waits for him in her empty house. She has no idea the demons are real—and that their queen has chosen Kai as her newest consort. If Gilly opens her door to him, they could both be dragged into an ancient web of fear and darkness that threatens everything they love.
