Queen B’s Decree: Cold Queen is the sinister version of Frozen, essentially. Elzira is Queen Whitestone, the cold hearted queen who is slowly wasting away. Her power has left her and she is fighting to survive.
In walks in Ryke, King Bloodsun, full of fire and questing for the truth. He’s there to strike a deal with Elzira; a business proposition if you will. But instead finds himself captivated and actively works to bring Elzira back from the brink. Once on her way back to health, you get to see Elzira’s true strength.
There’s definitely a bit of instalove involved, but the chemistry is insane.
I had doubts about Elzira and Ryke at the beginning. I was confused by their relationship – why was Ryke being nice to her at all?? But it all came together by the end.
The only thing I’m missing was some showtunes and singing!
