Daughters of the Sky and the ICE

For generations, the Empire of the Eternal Sky and the Kingdom of Ice have waged war over a territory no map has ever managed to fully describe: the Polar Wall.Buried within its depths lies the Dagger of the Horizon, an ancient relic capable of piercing time, space, and the boundaries between worlds. According to legend, whoever controls it will gain access to the riches of other planets, defy death, and build an eternal empire.Ayla Skadi, a Viking princess, and Saran Altani, a Mongol princess, were raised to hate one another. One belongs to the Ice; the other to the Sky. But during a battle, the impossible occurs: both discover the same ancient symbol marked upon their wrists.Forced to survive together in the forbidden regions of the Polar Wall, they uncover a truth far more dangerous than the war between their peoples. They are both descendants of the Children of the Horizon, a forgotten civilization that once used the Dagger to hide an entire empire beyond the boundaries of our own timeline.As their families mobilize their armies and the mysterious Order of the Eclipse manipulates both sides, Ayla and Saran must decide what to do with a power capable of rewriting history.Because the Dagger does not grant immortality.It steals it.And while the hatred between two empires threatens to destroy the world, something even more dangerous begins to grow between the two princesses: a love powerful enough to open the door between two realities.Thousands of years later, in 2026, an expedition uncovers two sculptures buried beneath the ice-sculptures depicting those very same princesses.The dating reveals something impossible.They are less than a year old.
