The day Agnarr lost his father, the king. The day Agnarr himself almost died.What 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.As Iduna and Agnarr grow ever closer, however, friendship is no longer enough.
