ENEMIES TO LOVERS • MORALLY GREY HERO • FORCED PROXIMITY • SLOW BURN • DARK FANTASY ROMANCE

The Frost King has ruled Valkathia for three thousand years—cold, cruel, merciless. His heir, Prince Kaelen Varrick, is feared as a prodigy forged from black blood… and trusted by none. Because Kaelen is dying. Cursed by silver, his immortal body is failing, and with the Winter Solstice near, he has one month to find a cure or face execution by his father.

That cure is Elora—a human girl with fierce violet eyes and magic she doesn’t understand.

Kaelen plans to hunt her through six deadly realms, force an alliance, win her trust… and then sacrifice her.
“I will make you love me. And then I will tear your heart out.”

But as they survive scorched worlds and clockwork horrors, the lie fractures. Elora becomes the fire that melts his frozen soul. And when the truth breaks in the Black Spire, she must choose: save the Prince who betrayed her… or burn his kingdom to ash.
