Plot summary

Aleksia, Queen of the Northern Lights, is the fairy godmother of the land she rules. She is known to have a heart of ice, hence her title of the "Snow Queen". Her duty is to help characters like Kay and Gerda redeem themselves and their sweethearts, gain backbones, and become more sensible and less willing to follow their loves to the end of the earth. The story begins with the traditional 1844 Hans Christian Andersen tale of the same name which continues through the first few chapters. When Aleksia is falsely accused of unleashing evil on nearby villages, she realizes there is an impostor out there far more heartless than she could ever be. Then a young man disappears, and Aleksia, his sweetheart, and his mother will have to join together to defeat this mysterious evil.
