Prince of Ice (Dragonfly Saga #2)

The Heroine
The peace of Amrodel has come to an end. The power of the Arch Mage had grown strong enough to reach the woodlands even from where he lay undead in the mountains, and he'd wasted no time in immobilizing the kingdom's defenders. Only one hope remained: a girl, the would-be sorceress Cahira. Her archery was nonpareil, but she had never been able to focus her magic. Upon her shoulders lay the fate of her people.

The Quest
Long ago it had been prophesied that "only one of pure light could withstand the coming darkness." Cahira's task was to find that man and give him the Dragonfly Sword. But how? Not the man foretold. She had seen him as a youngster, been captivated by his fine, blond curls and devilish grin...but Aren was one of her people's ancestral enemies, a brutish Norskman. He was their leader! All Cahira loved lay in the balance, and she and her friends were being sent into the cold north to find a barbaric rogue. North to danger, north to salvation, north to find the... Prince of Ice .
