Plot[]

Long before dying at the hands of Snow White, the evil Queen Ravenna ruled as the fairest in the land. But when her younger sister, the kind and loving Freya, gives birth to a baby girl destined to vanquish Ravenna as the most beautiful in the kingdom, Ravenna destroys the child, drowning Freya in grief and resulting in her gaining deadly power over cold and ice, becoming known as the Ice Queen. Determined by the ice around her broken heart, she leaves and Freya builds an army, training warriors from a young age to fight for her cause and asking of them only one thing: forever harden your hearts to love.

As her warriors grew, Freya learns that the Huntsman and his lover, Sara, have betrayed the only rule they were supposed to follow and banished them from her army, tricking them with her powers. Unknown to her, Eric survives and helps Snow White in defeating her sister, Ravenna.

Years later, when Freya learns of her sister's demise, she summons her remaining soldiers to bring the Magic Mirror home to the only sorceress left who can harness its power. But once she resurrects Ravenna from the Mirror's golden depths, the wicked sister threatens this enchanted land with twice the darkness it's ever seen. Now, her amassing army shall prove unbeatable unless Freya can get the banished Huntsman and the warrior who broke their Queen's cardinal rule to fight their way back to one another.
