When fire meets ice, kingdoms burn—unless love forges them anew. Valenhall’s alleys run cold with assassins the night Ember Solaris—an outlaw fire mage with a bloodline worth a death warrant—drags a stranger out of the kill. He’s no traveler. He’s Prince Kael Frostborn, exiled heir to the crown that razed her family, master of ice she should hate—and the only touch that feels like coming home. War smolders at the borders. Court knives gleam behind smiles. And an ancient Bridge Prophecy surfaces with a price only two can pay: one will save the kingdom; the other will destroy it. As Ember’s forbidden magic surges and Kael’s enemies circle the Frost throne, desire becomes their most dangerous weapon—and the last thing they’re allowed to trust. To survive the High Council’s games, the assassins in the snow, and a secret order that feeds on names and memories, Ember and Kael must decide what to break: the laws that keep them apart…or the fate written in the stars. Because some crowns are forged in blood—and some loves burn hot enough to remake the world. From 1000xAurora Wynn comes a blade-edged romantasy of ancient magic, court intrigue, and a slow-burn, high-heat romance you’ll feel down to your bones.
