Sun and Moon, Ice and Snow Sun and Moon, Ice and Snow by Jessica Day George

Not wanted at birth the girl was never given a name, she was simply known as 'the lass.' She has always wanted her mother to be thankful that she, the lass, was alive, but her mother just thought of her as another mouth to feed. One day a great white bear inquired of her, wanting her to come and live with him in his palace. He promised her family untold riches, if she stayed but 1 year and 1 day in his palace. When she agrees she believes she is making the right decision for what a better way to prove herself to her mother. Although she is given every luxury imaginable in the palace she feels more like a prisoner than a guest and it's not long before her "satisfaction" is turned into unease. One by one the servants start disappearing and she afraid that there's more to the palace than she knows. In her quest to learn the truth a series of events take place, which involve saving the man she just discovered she loves. Can she do it? Can she save him? Read Sun and Moon, Ice and Snow to find out.

I have heard many stories that are somewhat similar to this, but Jessica Day George did a very good job of making this story her own by adding unexpected twists and turns. I also liked how she mixed a couple different stories. It made the book very exciting.
