One soldier. One path in life.
A choice that changes everything.

Tradail is a kingdom so bloodthirsty they do nothing but go to war, training their citizens from childhood for that specific purpose.
For Alain, being a soldier is all she knows and all she wants in life, even if she disagrees when the Tradailian King chooses one war over another. King Tarlain’s new order causes her to no longer be fighting trained soldiers, instead slaughtering witches and warlocks hiding in the massive forest that separates her home from the kingdom she’d previously been at war with.
While carrying out her orders, Alain makes a decision that sends her straight into enemy territory with a warlock so powerful she has no hope to kill him. There, she is able to do something she never could in her home—make her own choices.
With an eccentric witch who’s determined to make friends with her and that warlock who’s determined to prove her wrong about all she knows and has been taught in her life, Alain finds herself doing the one thing she was sure she never would.
She finds herself questioning her loyalty to her kingdom.

Enter a world of magic, dragons, and tyrannical kings. And witness a love story about overcoming pain and abuse between two people who are expected to be enemies but just can’t be.
A little steam. A lot of heart.

A heart of ice.
A mysterious stranger.
A secret that will change her life forever.

The kingdom of Lestra is a relatively peaceful place. Despite sharing a border with Frean, it’s remained far enough from the wars that they at times seem like nothing but stories told.
For Kelsa, life is different than it is for those who live unburdened in the daylight of Lestra. Raised in the tavern by her adoptive father, she heard and experienced a great deal more than a little girl should. But little girls grow, even when they live their lives in the dark.
After Kelsa eventually finds herself running the tavern due to her father’s ailments, she settles in for the monotony of existence—serving drinks, listening to the nonsense of the kingdom, keeping the men happy, and ensuring none of them ever get close to her heart again after the one who broke it left for a woman considered more suitable.
Nothing could’ve prepared her for the day a stranger would appear on her doorstep with little more than his person, his bird, and a large pouch of currency. Allowing him into her life and home takes Kelsa down a path of secrets and discovery, bringing the reality of stories far closer than she ever expected. It also just might melt the ice that took years to accumulate around her heart.

In a life of darkness, breaking the ice that forms cannot be done alone.
