In Midarri, Xishu Huon is a quarter-breed, which means she is considered inferior by the Yama as that 25 percent is the lowly human. She was Prince Corum's friend when he was a young boy, but exiled to an orphanage once her tainted blood became known and her skill to somehow caused Corum to feel emotions, a taboo amongst the Yama.

Years later Corum has not yet met his soul mate as his eyes remain non black; when the eyes turn, the Yama knows they have found their beloved. His royal parents worry for him, so they encourage their offspring to accept a woman for his sexual pleasure and education. Corum has become known as the PRINCE OF ICE for obvious reasons, but he melts when he sees Xishu. As it becomes apparent that they are soul mates, adversaries continue Machiavellian plots to destroy the royals with Xishu their expendable pawn.

PRINCE OF ICE is a fabulous erotic Demon World tale (humans call the Yama demons) that grips readers once Xishi and Corum meet as young adults, and never slows down (even for adult encounters). Readers will enjoy this paranormal gender changing Roman Holiday with strong intrigue undercurrent, as the Prince and the tainted commoner fall in love.
