Some secrets are buried so deep, even the ice can't keep them frozen forever.

Elara Brennan has spent three years running from the past, from the grief of losing her father, from her mother's spiral into alcoholism, and from the weight of secrets she never knew existed. When she receives word that her estranged mother has passed away alone in the small mountain town of Maplewood, she has no choice but to return to the place she swore she'd never see again. But Maplewood is not the quiet, sleepy town she remembers. Something ancient and terrible lurks beneath the frozen river that winds through the valley-a darkness that has been claiming women for centuries, trapping them beneath the ice in a state between life and death, frozen in time, waiting for someone to set them free.

Elara's grandmother was one of those women. So was Marguerite Delacroix, the mysterious woman her father loved in secret, the woman whose desperate letters Elara discovers hidden in a carved wooden box, each one a cry for help from a woman who knew she was disappearing into the ice. As Elara delves deeper into her family's history, she uncovers a legacy of sacrifice, betrayal, and a love so powerful it defied death itself. But with every truth she uncovers, more questions emerge. Who was Marguerite really? Why did her grandmother walk out onto the ice knowing she might never return? And why has the river been calling Elara's name since the moment she set foot back in Maplewood?

With the help of Gabriel March-a man who knows more about Maplewood's secrets than he's willing to admit, a man whose own family history is tangled with the river's dark past-Elara must confront the truth about her family, her past, and the darkness that has been waiting for her all along. The Frozen River is a spellbinding tale of love, loss, and the enduring power of the human heart. With its atmospheric setting, richly drawn characters, and a mystery that spans centuries, this novel weaves together the threads of magical realism, gothic romance, and women's fiction into a story that will linger long after the final page is turned. Perfect for readers who love the haunting beauty of Alice Hoffman's Practical Magic, the mystery of Sarah Addison Allen's Garden Spells, and the romance of Susanna Kearsley's The Winter Sea, The Frozen River is an unforgettable journey into the heart of love, sacrifice, and the bonds that connect us across time.
