All I can say is I really hope you can get past this, because I am waiting very impatiently to read the Ice Palace book. I love the idea of Summer magic and Winter magic. My advice would be to keep writing it, but I guess that's because I find it easier to edit than to do the original writing.
And remember, there are only 5 (or 3 or something) basic plots anyway. Choose one, and proceed. Is it Boy Meets Girl or is it Hero Conquers Dragon? Your brief description is not only the plot of EHR, but of dozens of other books, including many murder mysteries, some of which are timeless classics. (Well, except for the spell part, usually in murder mysteries, it's that A is afraid to tell what she knows, for fear it will implicate B, whom she loves, or something like that.)

I think you are a wonder, but not a two book one.
