When Princess Hannelore is forced to flee from her kingdom, she begins a long, arduous journey that eventually brings her to frozen lands far to the north. It is there that she is to marry Jonis, the warrior in charge of the defense of the famed Pinnacle Keep. Though she is intimidated by the reputation of her husband-to-be, Hanne soon finds herself put at ease by his good humor. But will she be ready to do what is expected of her as the Dame of Pinnacle Keep, and when the castle is attacked will her new husband be able to protect her?
Decent fantasy story with likeable characters. The beginning of world building as well. Hanne has to move to the north where she marries Jonas. He is the Lord of a fortress which is part of the Snow force. Jonas is stern but fair. Hanne is a good person but sometimes speaks without thinking which gets her in trouble.
