About this book

A warrior king bound by vengeance meets a forgotten princess who storms into his carefully frozen world, and what begins as a calculated political marriage transforms into something neither of them expected. Khamsin has spent her life unwanted in her father's shadow, so when she's traded to the icy Wynter as a bride, she discovers not punishment but liberation—and a man whose glacial exterior melts under the heat of her passion. But as their connection deepens and Wynter's dangerous Ice Heart magic grows more unstable, Khamsin must choose between the safety of Wynter's arms and the devastating choices that could destroy them both. This is a sweeping fantasy romance about finding home in someone else, even when the world—and your own power—threatens to tear you apart.

Dark, sensual fae romance with glacial intensity and forbidden heat. Think gothic orchestral elements, sultry vocals, industrial synths, and sweeping strings. Moody, passionate, dangerous—perfect for enemies-to-lovers magic and slow-burn desire amid frozen landscapes.
