Summoned by the Crown, Princess Raelynn is torn from the only home she has ever known and delivered into a world ruled by tradition, silence, and sacrifice. Beyond the palace walls lie the Forbidden Alps-snow-choked mountains haunted by the bones of giants and the whispers of a war the world insists is over. Raelynn knows better. She feels their presence watching, waiting.
Zayden Romno has been raised for duty, not choice. Trained in steel and restraint, he arrives at the Crown knowing he is a pawn in a game played by kings and councils. When ancient rivalries threaten to fracture the realm-and rumors surface of a traitor allied with the giants-the Crown makes a desperate decision.
To prevent war, two enemies must be bound.
Forced into a political union meant to end centuries of bloodshed, Raelynn and Zayden are given three months to coexist, to learn one another, and to decide whether their bond can hold. Hatred runs deep. Trust comes slowly. And beneath the snow, something stirs.
As secrets rise and old lies unravel, Raelynn and Zayden must decide whether they will remain prisoners of the past-or become something far more dangerous together.
Because if they fail, their union won't save the kingdoms.
It will destroy them.
