On the surface, she is an Arendellian village girl, an aspiring inventor, and the best friend of Prince Agnarr, but she is also secretly Northuldra.<br \/>\nEver since the day the forest fell, Arendellians have despised and distrusted Northuldra with a vengeance. No matter that the Northuldra-along with some of Arendelle's own-have been trapped in the Enchanted Forest behind an impenetrable wall of mist since the day of the battle.<br \/>\nIduna doesn't know why the mist refuses to part, or why it descended to begin with. The only clear thing is that she must keep her identity from everyone, even Agnarr. Her life depends on it.<br \/>\nFortunately for her, Agnarr doesn't know that Iduna is the Northuldra girl he saw seemingly flying on a gust of wind all those years ago, the day of the celebration turned disaster. The day Agnarr lost his father, the king. The day Agnarr himself almost died.<br \/>\nWhat Agnarr does know is that Iduna is a true ally in the face of his royal responsibilities and the expectations of an overbearing council and a well-meaning regent who will rule in Agnarr's place until he turns twenty-one and assumes the Arendellian throne.<br \/>\nAs Iduna and Agnarr grow ever closer, however, friendship is no longer enough. If only falling for each other didn't mean risking their futures: Iduna's as a hidden-in-plain-sight citizen of Arendelle, and Agnarr's as imminent king.<br \/>\nBut for a chance at true love, the risk might be worth taking<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\t\t<script type=\"application\/ld+json\">\n{\n\t\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\n\t\"@type\":\"Review\",\n\t\"datePublished\": \"2020-11-03T11:00:20+00:00\",\n\t\"description\": \"Happy Tuesday and welcome to my stop on the DANGEROUS SECRETS blog tour!

Whirling around, my eyes widened as I spotted a crumpled figure splayed out against a large boulder. Blood seeped from a cut in the person\u2019s head, pouring down the rock, darkening the earth below. There was so <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">much blood that it took me a moment to recognize him. But when I did, I gasped.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It was the boy. Agnarr. And he was badly hurt.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I glanced back at my forest. I knew I needed to return there, to our side, to find my family. To shelter in safety with them until the spirits were appeased and the battle had ceased. But what if I abandoned Agnarr and no one came for him? The crackling of the flames roared louder; the heat curled the hair on my arms. The air was filled with thick smoke. And he was in no shape to get to safety on his own.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Suddenly I heard voices calling my name from somewhere <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">within the forest. My family was looking for me, I realized. They sounded worried. I needed to get to them, let them know I was all right. Let them lead me to where it was safe.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But then Agnarr would die.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I stared down at him, paralyzed by indecision. He looked pale as death, but I could see his chest rise and fall with shallow breaths. He was alive, but for how long? There were no Arendellians around. Even if they were looking for him, they might not find him before he lost <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">too much blood. Before his lungs filled with smoke and he couldn\u2019t breathe.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But\u2014just maybe\u2014I could save him.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">My mind raced; I was torn. I thought back to the forest. The fighting between his people and mine. That made him an enemy, even if I didn\u2019t know why.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I looked down at his drained face. And yet . . . he was also just a boy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An injured boy who would die if I didn\u2019t do something.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A tree behind me creaked, fire snapping at its limbs. A branch broke, crashing from above. On instinct, I threw myself at Agnarr, rolling him to the side just in time to avoid the fiery brand. It hit the ground where he\u2019d been lying only seconds before, and the dry brush <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">around it flared up.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I inhaled deeply, making my decision. Lifting my raw voice to the sky, I sang for Gale, calling for the Wind Spirit the same way I always did. \u201c<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ah ah ah ah<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For a moment, I heard nothing, and I began to worry the spirit was too wrapped up in whatever was happening to answer my call. But at last there was a rush of wind and a breeze that floated around me questioningly. I let out a breath of relief.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cHelp us, Gale,\u201d I begged.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Wind Spirit obeyed, scooping both of us up into its embrace and sweeping us across the forest in a fierce rush. For a moment the boy\u2019s eyes fluttered and I wondered if he would regain consciousness. He muttered something softly that I couldn\u2019t quite hear, then passed <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">out again.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cCome on,\u201d I said to the wind, my heart beating fast in my chest. \u201cWe have to hurry.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gale picked up the pace, rushing us faster away from\u00a0\u00a0 danger. As we flew, my eyes darted around the woods, desperate to find someone\u2014anyone\u2014who could help us.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It was then that I saw the group of Arendellian horses and wagons, piled high with injured people hacking and sputtering, rubbing their eyes, their skin caked with soot. It appeared they were about to evacuate the area.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThere!\u201d I pointed for Gale. \u201cPut him down in that wagon.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Wind Spirit obliged, sweeping us forward and dropping us gently onto the wagon. As Agnarr\u2019s back settled against the cart\u2019s wood, he murmured something again. I leaned over him, trying to hear what he had to say. Suddenly, everything went dark. I reached up, surprised to find an Arendellian cloak over my head, covering almost my entire body. Gale must <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">have thrown it over me. But why?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Danger was approaching<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">My ears pricked at the sounds of footsteps, loud, and of more than one person approaching. I held my breath, my heart pounding so hard I wondered if I\u2019d crack a rib. The wagon rocked, as if someone had stepped onto the front of it. Then, to my horror, it began to move.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I struggled to peek out from under the cloak. I needed to jump out of the wagon while I still could. Run back to the safety of the forest. But there, riding behind the wagon, were three Arendellian soldiers armed with sharp swords.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cDo you see any of those traitors?\u201d one of them asked the others, his eyes darting suspiciously in all directions, his voice rough from inhaling smoke.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIf I did, I wouldn\u2019t be standing here talking to you,\u201d stated the middle one, with dark hair in total disarray.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI\u2019d slash them all down where they stood.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI can\u2019t believe it! We came in peace! We built them a dam! And this is how they repay us? With sorcery? Trickery?\u201d the third shouted, his horse dancing under him as it felt his tension.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">My heart panged in horror, refusing to believe the soldiers\u2019 hateful words. We were a peaceful people. We\u2019d welcomed the Arendellians to our land. Accepted their gift of the dam. Why would we rise up against them now? As for magic or sorcery\u2014we didn\u2019t have any. We used only the gifts given to us from the spirits. The elders had been very clear on that from the first day we met the Arendellians.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At that moment there was another gust of wind. At first I thought it was Gale, maybe rushing in to save me from my fate. Instead, a thick, heavy mist seemed to drop from the sky, settling down onto the earth like a giant wall behind us. It blocked out the forest, from sky to <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ground, as far as my eyes could see. the wagons ground to a halt. The soldiers called out <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">in alarm, staring at the shimmering gray fog in dismay.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cMore black magic!\u201d one of them muttered, making strange patterns with his hands, as if to ward off whatever it was. \u201cEvil sorcery!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cLet\u2019s get out of here,\u201d the other barked. \u201cBefore it comes for us, too!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">My heart lurched. What was happening? My home! My family! Trapped behind some kind of wall\u2014and I was on the wrong side. I had to return before it was too late. Or was it already too late? If I showed myself now, the soldiers might declare me a traitor. But if I didn\u2019t, I might lose my entire world. Panic flared inside me. What should I do?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Suddenly, I felt a flutter of movement beside me. I glanced over. Agnarr had woken\u2014though maybe not completely. He blinked, looking at me with sleepy green eyes. For a moment our gazes locked. My heart thudded. I shook my head, glancing back at the growing mist and <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">letting out a small moan. Agnarr took my trembling hand in his and squeezed so lightly I could barely feel it. Yet at the same time, it was as if I could feel nothing else in the world.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt\u2019s going to be okay,\u201d he whispered. With his free hand, he reached into his pocket and pulled out a small wrapped square. I opened the paper tentatively, revealing a tiny block of that brown stuff I\u2019d tasted in the tents. Shocked, I returned my gaze to Agnarr, who smiled.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cChocolate makes everything better,\u201d he whispered.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Then his eyes closed again and his breathing slowed. He\u2019d fallen back asleep. But his hand remained in my own as the wagons rolled on, away from the mist. Resigned, I settled down under my cloak, slipping the block of chocolate into my mouth. Its sweetness could only be rivaled by the warmth of Agnarr\u2019s hand. Like it or not, I was going to Arendelle. But as to whether it would be okay?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Only Ahtohallan knows.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<h6 style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><br \/>\nFrom Dangerous Secrets.
