On Silver Winds

By: Ava Smiddy

Narrated by: Sara Brodt

A reluctant Heir. A vengeful King. An alliance that could ruin them both.

Adeline never wanted the crown, yet she remains bound by it. A daughter of the Snow Queen, she must uphold the sparkling reputation of her kingdom until she earns the right to campaign for the throne—or the right to concede it.

But when royal tensions split the frozen lake at the heart of the kingdom, a dark King claws his way free of its icy depths.

And history is rewritten.

Kai has spent an eternity beneath the ice, with nothing but his rage to keep him warm. Now his only path to freedom lies in a false alliance with the descendants of his enemy. Deceiving them might be simple, even satisfying—if it weren’t for the lovely, roguish Princess Adeline and the warmth in her eyes when looks at him. As though she wants him. As though she trusts him. As though he could want and trust her too.

With loyalties divided and secrets buried in ancient ice, Adeline and Kai must decide how far they’ll go to protect the futures of their people. Is a kingdom worth the price of a frozen heart?

On Silver Winds is a fantasy romance with fairytale themes and a dash of spice. This is book one in the Duet of Snow and Silver.

Beautiful Prose and Great Narration

Absolutely loved the snow queen vibes of this story. The writing was beautiful and the narration was perfect.

The storytelling and found family

In love with this story!!! I love the found family and the world building it’s so sweet. Sara did an amazing job bringing it to life as well!!

The characters… the setting… the drama!!

I devoured this beautifully written love story with a ferocity that I haven’t felt in years. The depth of the world and characters creates this wonderfully immersive escape, and there is a mystery that’s slowly and perfectly revealed as the pages turn.

I’m honestly a little embarrassed over how much and how many times I found tears rolling down my face. Ava Smiddy has a gift of writing love and connection in all of its beautiful forms; romantic, familial, and platonic, there were so many heart-wrenching moments to savor.

Besides the swoon-worthy Kai and charming Adeline, the side characters are incredibly lovable and unique. 💗

The romance? So good. The best kind of slow burn. Perfectly spiced, with no cringy words or overly-described scenes, Just total PERFECTION.

On Silver Wings belongs on every fantasy romance lover’s bookshelf and I’ll be desperately waiting for book two.

The narration is beautifully done! The narrator’s voice for male characters was really good and the accents worked perfectly in the story.

Highly recommend.
