Blurb: His heart stolen by a powerful pari’s magic, a young prince’s veins slowly fill with ice. That is what the stories say. Three years have passed since, and all efforts to save Kisin have failed. He won’t survive another winter. To save the prince’s life, Razin, the court wizard and Kisin’s childhood friend, plans to seek out the pari. But unbeknownst to Razin, Kisin’s heart was never stolen; he gave it freely to escape the pain of impossible love—his love for Razin.

Razin won’t accept Kisin’s fate, for reasons obvious to anyone who knows anything of love. Kisin agrees to the desperate quest, out of duty and a need to protect Razin. They are soon joined by Kisin’s once-betrothed, Lana, the daughter of the khan, who seeks to break the curse that has turned her into a beast. But it isn’t long before Razin realizes saving his prince will require more than simply retrieving his heart.

Razin will have to convince him to want it.

Reviewer: Shorty

Review: Prince Kisin, unable to cope with the feelings he harbors for his best friend and court wizard, Razin, he gives his heart to Pari. Now three years later he is slowly turning to ice. Refusing to let his best friend go Razin goes on a dangerous journey to get Kisin’s heart back.

As the two men journey Kisin is evasive in questions referring to the reason why he has given away his heart. But he exhibits traits of getting it back little by little as the story progresses.

This story has a lot of drama, adventure, action, and battles in it. There is a lot of the book taken up by conversations regarding the secondary characters in the book that I thought was needless at times.
