Instead, it swallowed her whole. Ansel Laurent doesn't love―he consumes. His touch... a burn. His words... a leash. His presence... a suffocation. His love... a slow and painful death. She should have run the first time his grip tightened, the first time his whispered words curled around her throat like a promise of things to come. But she didn't. And now, he won't let her go. Zavien Amato was supposed to be her escape... his unrequited love fueling his desire to protect her, the one person who saw the girl beneath the wreckage, the one who would tear the world apart to pull her from the fire. But Ansel isn't just the fire―he is the burning. And if Solène dares to run, if she dares to reach for a life without him, he will drag her back into the dark with bloody hands and a smile. She is his. And... If he can't have her... no one can.

In an Earth like world called Earthen a metaphysical veil separates the world from The Abyss where demons, fallen angels and eldritch anomalies exist. The Abyss has three planes, Deamona where demons thrive, Angelus where fallen angels take wing and Anomalia where eldritch anomalies lurk. Opposite The Abyss the world Earthen lies, most citizens blissfully unaware of the dangers lurking in the sky, on the ground and around every corner. The 10% of demi-spirits, angels and humans with high spiritual awareness and abilities do know about the threat however and actively fight it so they can one day close the veil and ultimately bring spiritual peace to the world. The children of fire and ice however, Phenics Amaterasu and Yuki Yuuki, two childhood friends separated for 11 years and reunited after those years are the two heroes on the forefront of fighting these "Visitors" and as prophecy has foretold they are the ones who will seal the veil. Phenics armed with Phoenix Fire and Yuki armed with Yuki Onna frost and snow will fight until they seal the boundary and the last enemy falls at their feet... This is their story. This is Action Bound Children Of Fire And Ice.

Magic is outlawed. The Gifted are hunted. But some powers don't die - they wait. In the fractured kingdom of Virelia, those born with the Gift - a rare and dangerous magic marked by a silver burn - are publicly executed in ritual "Cleansings." The regime claims order has conquered chaos. But in secret, the ruling bloodlines breed and control the very power they condemn-turning the Gifted into weapons. Every year, twelve teens are chosen-noble heirs and exceptional commoners alike - and cast into The Ordeal, a brutal gauntlet of psychological trials, ancient magic, and deadly combat. Split into teams of four, they must survive - or be discarded. Rhea Saint Vallen, daughter of a legendary general, is hiding something: her own forbidden Gift is beginning to awaken. Assigned to lead one of the trial teams, she's forced to work alongside Azael Miro, a former friend from her childhood she cut off without warning. His bitterness runs deep - but so do his questions. As their team faces relentless trials, Rhea finds herself drawn to Kai Everen, a reserved and sharp -witted combatant with a past as shadowed as her own. But The Ordeal is more than a competition - it's a carefully constructed lie. Survivors aren't champions. They're weapons. The Ashen Guard doesn't protect the kingdom. It silences threats to it. Now Rhea and her team must decide: become the empire's next executioners - or spark the rebellion that could bring it all down. The Ordeal is only the beginning. The Ashes are rising.
