Cursed by centuries of ice and shame, Aldryd has long existed as a creature of cold magic and duty, his heart hardened beneath his father's tyrannical rule as king of the fae. But there was one point of hope and warmth amid his time of ice and torment, Wren—a warm-hearted human whose quiet strength awakens feelings he believed long dead. For Wren, Aldryd dares to love where love is forbidden... Faced with losing her forever, Aldryd must defy his father and challenge him for his throne in order to reclaim not only the woman he loves, but his own freedom. In a world where curses bind bloodlines and love can ignite rebellion, their fae-human promise may be the one force strong enough to break a kingdom—and build something lasting in its wake.
