Sigrid Ashenvale

A duchess in frozen marriage. Waiting for her life to mean something. She doesn't know what's coming.

The East Tower — Schattenfrost Sigrid Ashenvale Child of the Light.And a decorative fixture in a castle built of stone and grey silences. Duchess of the North  ✦  Wed at Nineteen  ✦  Still Waiting The Promise Sigrid Ashenvale was raised to be extraordinary. Languages, etiquette, history, the arts — all in service of a prophecy spoken at her birth that declared her a Child of the Light, destined for greatness. She spent her girlhood believing the world was waiting for her. She has spent her marriage learning that the world is perfectly content to let her freeze. ◆  ◆  ◆ The Cage Wed to Viktor Eisenmark at nineteen, Sigrid arrived at Castle Schattenfrost expecting a new life. What she found was a new cage — more beautiful than the one she left, and far, far colder. The Duke treats her with distant courtesy but gives her nothing of himself. No warmth. No trust. No children. The court follows his lead, treating her as a fixture rather than a person — a decorative wife in a castle full of grey stone and greyer silences. Four years have passed. Sigrid has memorized every tapestry in the great hall, every book in the east tower library, every hour of the day that the sun cannot reach. She is twenty-three years old and already feels like a painting hung on someone else's wall. ◆  ◆  ◆ Beneath the Surface Beneath the polished surface, Sigrid is more than her boredom. She is intelligent in ways the court has never asked her to demonstrate, curious in ways the Northern cold has never quite frozen, and capable of a devotion she has never been given reason to feel. The prophecy that named her a Child of the Light still lingers in her blood, dormant and forgotten — a power she does not know she carries, waiting for a moment that has not yet arrived. The jester's arrival will change everything. Whether Sigrid knows it or not. ◆   ◆   ◆
