Thank you for reading and patiently rereading, this foray into our world of 'Frozen Again', dear friends!

I hope you had the chance this busy holiday season to read my 3-part "Frozen Again Prequel: And These Three Remain" that ties our story in from the end of the 'Frozen 2' movie to the start of my Trilogy, as shown here.

Please enjoy the romance and adventures all over again as our love for the beautiful fairytale borne of sisterly love, called 'Frozen', and our many wonderful friendships linked through the shared wonder of our imaginations continues into the New Year! - HarukaKou

We do not own "Frozen" nor any of its characters.

"Frozen Again: 'Faith, Hope, and Love"

Prologue:

"Summer's End"

Cold. Inside, I'm so cold…

It was conversely a warm day for this uneventful summer in the year of our Lord 1843 upon the idyllic rolling waves of the Scandinavian seas.

Visions of a spired castle rises on the shining horizon hovering over the intricately sculpted hedge mazes, hundreds of years preserved on this prominent estate. A stylized green topiary dances scenic fleur de lis before the groomed gravel path leading to the long drawbridge of this inviting Renaissance water castle.

Crossing its majestic stone and monk's brick threshold, hungry eyes take in the beautiful tapestries that line the hallowed vaulted ceilings and magnificently decorated walls full of proud ancient weaponry, numerous mounted trophies, historical Naval art and royal portraits as the wide double doors wordlessly swing open for him. A rich collection of elegant crystal chandeliers, plush Oriental rugs and gold-gilt Louis XVI French neo-classical furniture, as well as a Danish kingly throne greet him upon trumpeted 'welcome home' return arrival.

Stepping a dashing self-possessed boot back out upon the gravel drive outside his mirror reflective moat surrounded castle, the distinguished young lad with deep ambitions holds his noble chin high. His clear windswept gaze was satisfied as he strides across the sandstone pavilion's statue adorned marble bridge.

From that view he pauses to see the diverse fuschia spray of flora dotting the well cared for gardens on the vista, as they sweetly fragrance the air with their fresh untainted scent. All of these led, at last, to his favorite complex of royal stables, filled with steeds who shared in the liberating wind that blew through every part of his masterful youthful soul, destined for greatness…

Endless days and countless dreams that never came to pass for a comely well-bred boy spent alone exploring the castle interior's secreted staircases, always in the shadows beyond the library he frequented in solitude. Whether cloaked in fantasized mystery within his palace's double thick walls or in leisure on horseback roaming freely over a thousand hectares of lush fertile countryside filled with farming areas, bountiful flower gardens, stunning lakes and tall oak trees set upon the glorious hills of the Kingdom of Denmark, the resplendent landscape itself gave the clever young man vast scope for lavish musings.

Shaking off the illusionary blue sky and green grass mirage seen via his mind's eye alone, this same young man wakes up from his daydream.

He never imagined the reality of peeling potatoes in the dank smelly galley of a sullied rat-infested ship would be in his vaulted line of vocation.

My brothers always did have a demented sense of humor concerning me.

Prince Hans of the Danish Southern Isles still had the good humor enough to chuckle to himself in the foul-stenched darkness, a far cry from home. Hans replays the 'sentencing phase' of his twelve older brothers passing judgment for his crimes – odious as they may be, in the benefit of hindsight reflection - against their neighboring Norwegian country's kingdom just beyond the true blue North Seascape.

It was a kingdom called 'Arendelle', in all its shimmering magical glory, now far beyond his reach…

Ah, Arendelle…such a radiant light still holds fascination for me beneath all that wondrous ice…

Hello, Frozen friends! Merry Christmastide!

After the beginning of our three-part prequel: 'And Now These Three Remain' (I hope you've already read as the bridge between the 'Frozen 2' movie and our Trilogy :), to continue the romantic saga of "Frozen Again", please read on in the adventure/romance/drama's Book 1: "Frozen Again: Faith, Hope and Love", then sequel Book 2:"Frozen Again: But the Greatest if These of Love", and it's triquel : Book 3: 'Frozen Again: Love Never Ends'.

They've been published 'Complete' for a few years now, but after the 'Frozen 2' movie that just premiered this November, my biggest supporter (my dearest sister Setsuna ;) & I are embarking on merging in a few tweaked revised rewrites to my original 'Frozen Again' story to keep Elsa & Anna's adventures true to character and Disney canon as well, due to many aspects just revealed.

Their mother's past, Elsa's newfound connection to the Spirits of the Northuldra, the ancient Snow Queen of legend's role in this all, plus some newly introduced characters, i.e. Mattias, Halima, Yelana and others I feel compelled to address.

So, before I get back to the later chapters of Book 3: 'Love Never Ends', methinks I'll be busy all through the beginning of this New Year re-reading and proofing through each chapter from the beginning (only 158 chapters, 1.5 million words or so to go!;) to sort out these new developments, altering parts here and there dotting my original work.

Nostalgic to think now that it all began as a little birthday present for my older sis, who was madly in love with giving Elsa a happy ending of her own, too and my imagination just took flight from there!

So please, may I ask you to benevolently bear with me in these revisions to keep following all 3 of my Books in the 'Frozen Again" series again. I invite you to read along with me the entire trilogy's novels full of different slants on some revised twists and turns in the romance and adventure for our three main couples (Helsa, Kristanna, Eupunzel) and their friends!

And always, I appreciate your avid support and reviews, my Frozen friends! :)

Thank you all for your generous kindness and unfailing support these past (almost! Where did the time go?!) six years of me scripting my beloved 'Frozen' sequel novels! Your reviews and messages over the years have always been so uplifting and have inspired me to write on more, God willing. I feel blessed to have the opportunity to share my humble gifts with you all this magical fairytale time together!

God bless you and Happy New Year 2020 to you all as we forge ahead together, just like our favorite sister act, Elsa & Anna of Arendelle, were destined to be!

Love and peace, HarukaKou
