If you liked the tragic romance in my Frozen: Dangerous Secrets nook, you will LOVE my new serialized fantasy romance on Kindle Vella. The Forge of Silk and Steel. There are 14 episodes posted so far with on the way! (Warning: It's another tearjerker, sorry/not sorry!)

Bored of palace life, Princess Kyrenia schemes to swap places with the blacksmith's daughter, Ainslie, so the princess can joust in a tournament and the commoner can attend a royal ball. But when elves infiltrate the palace and abduct the wrong girl, Kyrenia's forced to team up with her arch rival--Ainslie's brother--on a dangerous quest to save her friend. Meanwhile Ainslie must find a way to use forbidden magic to stay alive in the hands of her arrogant, yet handsome elven captor.

Today I finished reading Dangerous Secrets of @marimancusi and I am thrilled. The story is beautifully told and you can’t help but love Iduna and Agnarr deeply. It is heartbreaking, exciting, but also very funny, everything you can expect from a great story. Some scenes have moved me to tears, especially towards the end of the story, which happens very rarely to me. The many questions I had so far were all answered and many new exciting details were added, also very surprising backgrounds. Many of my headcanons were confirmed and there are so many parallels to the movies that make you smile and also clear up a lot. Especially one thing has been confirmed for me now, which I was convinced of at least since Frozen II (see spoiler below) and I am glad about it.

For me Dangerous Secrets is the missing link between Frozen I and II and the book rounds off the whole story about Anna and Elsa in a perfect way. If you want to know where the two sisters got their peculiarities and why everything is the way it is, you have to read this book. It is a must for all Frozen Fans! This book is not only a love story between the parents of the siblings, it is much more and it gives answers to so many important questions. And as Mari Mancusi said in the exclusive interview on ‘Nerds and beyond’: “there’s a lot more story between the pages ripe for some talented fan fiction writers out there to take on!”  

THANK YOU, Mari Mancusi, for this wonderful story! Frozen is finally complete for me and I am overjoyed!

SPOILERS ahead

I got it!!! As you can see I already started reading on my way homexD

Look what the mailman just brought me. I still can’t believe it!

I hope you love the book!! Please don’t spoil it for anyone who has to wait till next week! (I know you won't.) 

An important element in the story of Frozen 2 was Queen Iduna’s shawl. And this little surprise project was so awesome to make. It’s a mix of hand embroidery for the big crosses and machine embroidery for the straight stitches. there’s 4 different fabrics in it and it’s also decorated with heat transfer vinyls for the smallest details.
