"But, have you ever taken the time to focus on that "single reason not to do it" instead of coming up with reasons to do it?" "Well, I don't really think so-" "Tomorrow can always be a better day". I'm not going to lie though, as much as I hate being interrupted, I smiled at some point when I heard those words. That must be a fake smile for sure.

[Finished and being edited] Once captured by a distraught king, a fierce warrior is forced to choose between saving his family or his country. But choices are never that simple. *** Book 1 of The War of Fire and Ice. The centuries-long war between Fire and Ice has reached an uneasy standstill; but, as time progresses, that newfound peace starts cracking. Thorn, a good warrior with a dark past, has been captured by the crazed Fire King who will spout Machiavellian ideals to obtain the item he desperately requires. However, the king carries a heavy burden that the rest of his court are more than happy to take advantage of. Meanwhile, panic blooms throughout Ice as Thorn's absence creates a hole that their king and Thorn's wife are unable to fill. Seeking to unite their divided kingdom, the Ice King and his close subjects search for ways to survive the upcoming war. There is more than one layer to the Kingdoms' troubles. There is more than one issue in the rulers' hearts. There is more than one outcome of right or wrong. And sometimes, death is the only answer.
