Impostor queen

Now that Ansa knows she is the destined queen of Kupari, she is desperate to find a permanent home for her people in the Kupari lands. But as the small band of warriors crosses into the foreign territory, Ansa loses her fragile grip on her newly acquired--and violent--magic and puts everyone, including her love Thyra, in danger.

Sixteen-year-old Elli was chosen as the heir to a queen who wields powerful ice and fire magic. But when the queen dies, the magic doesn't enter Elli and she uncovers devastating new information about the magic, and those who wield it.

Ansa has always been a fighter. As a child, she fought the invaders who murdered her parents and snatched her as a raid prize. She fought for her status as a warrior in her tribe, but the day the Krigere cross the great lake and threaten the witch queen of the Kupari, everything changes.
