      Sladký doušek, nebezpečné pokušení. Druhý díl romantasy duologie Mráz. Poté, co mě král Torin málem zmrazil k smrti, jsem propadla portálem do svého skutečného domova – království temných bytostí známého jako Dvůr smutku. Když Torin uvidí mé nové rohy, rychle si dá dvě a dvě dohromady. Ženu, kterou si chtěl vzít, by v jeho světě označili za démona. Ale ani tady nejsem v bezpečí. Královna Mab a její vojáci nás hodlají dostat. Jestli chceme s Torinem přežít, musíme si být neustále nablízku. Jenže každý moment je hořkosladký, když víte, že vás vílí král může snadno omylem zabít.

      Nebezpečný turnaj, sladká odměna. Mrazivé romantasy, které vás rozpálí. Která holka by to nepřehnala s pitím, když v den svých narozenin zjistí, že ji podvádí kluk a že přišla o střechu nad hlavou? Já to zmákla během několika hodin. Svým opileckým tlacháním jsem pak urazila vílího krále Torina z Faerie, a nechtěně si tak zajistila jeho pozornost. Prozradil mi, že hledá nevěstu, budoucí královnu, ale že je to celé jen naoko. Divadýlko pro okolí. Za účast v turnaji, ze kterého má nová panovnice vzejít, mi nabídl padesát milionů dolarů. Řekla jsem si: „Co můžu ztratit?“ Nyní se ukazuje, že všechno. Moje soupeřky jsou totiž kvůli koruně ochotné zabíjet. Navíc čím víc času s Torinem trávím, tím těžší je nezapomenout, že je to celé jenom „jako“. V ohrožení je tak nejen můj život, ale i srdce.

      After the Seelie king Torin nearly froze me to death, I plunged through a portal into my true home. Turns out, my hometown is a wild Unseelie kingdom known as the Court of Sorrows. When Torin follows me and sees my new horns, he quickly realizes that his intended bride is an enemy of his realm. In fact, his name for my kind is "demon." But even if I have the horns of an Unseelie, I'm not welcome here, either. Queen Mab and her monstrous soldiers are delighted to torment us, accusing me of being a traitor. If we want to get out of the Court of Sorrows with our lives, the only hope we have is to stay as close to each other as possible--even if it means fleeing on horseback and sharing a bed. Every moment is bittersweet since it could be our last--and Torin is condemned to kill anyone he loves.
