Frost After the worst day of your life leaves you heartbroken, homeless, and swearing off love, a dangerously charming Seelie King offers you an irresistible deal: fake your way through a deadly competition for his crown and walk away fifty million dollars richer. The catch? You're competing against fae who'd literally kill for the title, and the more time you spend with the seductive, mysterious Torin, the harder it gets to remember this arrangement was supposed to be completely fake. With your life on the line and your heart refusing to play along, you'll have to figure out what you're really willing to risk—and whether Torin's interest in you goes deeper than anyone expected.
Reading soundtrack
Ethereal indie-folk meets sultry alt-pop with orchestral undertones. Think Florence + The Machine's mysticism, Hozier's longing, and Phoebe Bridgers' quiet intensity. Capture the tension between icy distance and simmering attraction, with lush instrumentation and tender vulnerability.
