Since her birth, Princess Pele has been betrothed to the merchant of death, King of the underworld, Hades. She was born to be a sacrificial bride, all because of a reckless bargain her father struck for power and immortality. Betrayed by her family yet resigned to her fate, Pele abandons everything she's ever known to marry the all-powerful, immortal King, thinking her marriage equals her death. But Hades is not what Pele was expecting. The strangely charming King beguiles her and teaches her she was born with more power than she was ever aware of. As Pele searches for a way to free herself from her binding sham of a marriage, she uncovers Hade's secrets in the process, while also finding herself unwillingly drawn to him. The only problem? As she finds herself falling in love with the immortal king, Pele finds she is also competing for his heart with his vengeful former love, Persephone.

**Completed**Can smoldering resentment and attraction exist at the same time? Jess Parker has made a number of mistakes. The first was burning her school to the ground. The second, getting caught by the handsome, yet maddening boy who calls himself Asher, who tells her things that can't possibly be true. Now Jess finds herself blundering through a new and alarming world, leaving a trail of blazing destruction behind. She must choose between warring factions, two sides of an ancient war that both want her. And most of all, she must try to harness her explosive powers before they consume her. Note: FIRE is a stand-alone book set in the Jotun world. It is not book 2 of the Frost series (that will be published by Patchwork Press later this year). Cover artwork by @SeventhStar
