Two enemy kingdoms. One forbidden bloodline. A forgotten nightmare about to wake.Nineteen-year-old Princess Vivienne Crothe has spent her entire life balancing on dangerous edges. As heir to the frozen throne of Crothe, danger is as common as breathing; as a lethally trained royal assassin, it is her purpose. But when her father summons her during a relentless blizzard, he hands her an impossible mission: infiltrate the magnificent, sun-drenched Solar Court, gain the trust of its fiercely intelligent fire prince, Soren Solarius, and steal a legendary artifact lost for generations-the Crown of Thorned Secrets. If she fails, her freezing kingdom will crumble into ruin. What starts as a stealth heist quickly spiraling into chaos. When a mysterious, silver-eyed phantom breaches the palace vaults, Vivienne is forced into a reluctant, joint investigation with Prince Soren to track down the missing pieces of the artifact. As ice meets fire, an unexpected spark ignites between the assassin princess and the warrior prince. Together, they must navigate deadly drowned temples and brave the eerie, shifting fogs of Black Hollow. But the closer Vivienne gets to reassembling the shattered crown, the more history begins to fracture. A burning mark awakens on her wrist, revealing a terrifying truth: the crown is not a weapon of power, but a lock. A third kingdom-the Thorn Court-was brutally erased from memory to hide a monstrous secret, and Vivienne is the last living descendant of its bloodline. When the fanatical Order of Ash manipulates the desperation of the Crothe kingdom to force the crown together, the final seal shatters. The sky turns to ash as a primordial tyrant known as the Hollow King is unleashed upon the world. With the armies of Ice and Fire overwhelmed by an enemy that is no longer human, Vivienne and Soren must push their fragile alliance-and their growing feelings for one another-to the absolute limit.
