The Snow Empress by Laura Joh Rowland Pdf

Acclaimed author Laura Joh Rowland's mystery series set in fuedal Japan featuring detective Sano Ichiro continues with The Snow Empress. Japan, 1699: On a moonlit night on the northern frontier island of Ezogashima, a woman is running through the forest when an arrow strikes her dead. Meanwhile, in the city of Edo, the young son of Sano Ichiro, the samurai detective who has risen to power in the shogun's court, vanishes during a moon-watching festival. When one of Sano's political rivals hints that the boy was kidnapped—and may be in Ezogashima—he and his wife, Reiko, begin a desperate journey to find their son...only to discover that the local ruler, Lord Matsumae, is holding the entire province hostage for another crime: The murder of his mistress. So Sano strikes a deal: He will solve the mistress's murder if Matsumae will free the hostages and return his son. Soon, however, Sano and Reiko find themselves caught up in a dangerous scheme that includes clan warfare, bitter jealousy, and murderous betrayal as they race to unravel the mystery of The Snow Empress.

The Palace of the Snow Queen by Barbara Sjoholm Pdf

In November of 2001, fueled by the aftermath of 9/11 and the break-up of a relationship, writer Barbara Sjoholm left the United States to spend a polar winter in Lapland. Sjoholm was interested in exploring her childhood fantasy of Lapland based on the Hans Christian Andersen fairytale, "The Snow Queen," and decided to research the budding phenomenon of winter tourism. The Palace of the Snow Queen is the result of Sjoholms travels in Lapland, starting with her visit to Kiruna, Sweden, to observe the construction of the Ice Hotel. Over the next three years, she spent each winter in the North, meeting ice artists and snow architects, reindeer herders, and Sami writers and activists. Throughout The Palace of the Snow Queen, Sjoholm provides a look at the people of Kiruna and the Samis struggle to maintain their grazing lands and migration routes in the face of tourism, while focusing on the various political and ideological changes occurring within this icy region. Ultimately, Sjoholm contemplates the tensions between contemporary tourism and traditional culture, and delivers a powerful travel narrative of this comparatively little-known region of Europe.--From the publisher.

The Snow Queen by Elizabeth Gannon Pdf

Beauty: Kai is not the most popular man in the village. He can't fish and he doesn't want to be a warrior. Instead, he wants to excavate the area for traces of the village's past, whether it happens to be underneath the main street in town or beneath someone's flower garden. He is content to live a quiet life and dream of something more. Truth be told, Kai is a mystery to most of the people in town... which is why they choose to send him across the frozen tundra to die.The Beast: The Snow Queen is not the most popular person in the kingdom, despite the fact that she rules it. Not that she cares what others think. She's content to sit in her magical ice palace, brooding about all the things she's lost and striking fear into the hearts of the idiot villagers. But, when her most treasured possession is destroyed by those morons, she comes looking for someone to fix it. Or for some swift, icy vengeance. Instead, she gets Kai. The annoying human is offered to her by the village like a sacrifice. The deal is quite simple: he'll use his skills to fix her treasure or she'll destroy everyone. Rather than be terrified of the threat though, the man appears only too happy to assist her in piecing the history of her family back together. What does he want from her? Why hasn't she simply killed him? And why does his smile melt her cold heart?
