In this mesmerizing novel by Alice Hoffman, a little girl ruins her life by making a wish on a snowy night. She grows up with a splinter of ice in her heart until one day, standing by her kitchen window, she is struck by lightning. Instead of killing her, this cataclysmic event sparks off a new beginning. She seeks out Lazarus Jones, a fellow lightning survivor, a burning man whose breath can boil water and whose touch scorches. As an obsessive love affair begins between them, both are forced to hide their most dangerous secrets - what turned one to ice and the other to fire. 'The Ice Queen' is a haunting story of passion, loss, second chances and the secrets that come to define us.
