Valérie du Lis has never once considered love as a possibility. As a famous courtesan in Talin's royal court, trained by the legendary Hushed of the shattered High Kingdom, she is well aware that her fortunes are dependent upon giving up on such ridiculous ideas. The arrival of the passionate, poetic noble from one of Talin's Dark Blood families throws everything she has considered true of love into question. However, even as they find their paths, Fate has designs of its own, linked to Valérie's deepest secret: the winter curse laid upon her soul.

They say love is the oldest magic... but what if it's also the deadliest curse? Vaenya has always felt like winter was watching her. Each falling snowflake feels like a warning, each dream more vivid than the last - flashes of fire, a pair of ocean-blue eyes, and a voice whispering her name. But when a stranger appears in the woods - tall, quiet, with eyes that feel too ancient to belong to a man - something inside her stirs. A memory she shouldn't have. A warmth she can't explain. The closer he comes, the stranger her world becomes. Shadows follow her. The forest feels alive. And she begins to wonder - What if she's not meant to survive her 25th winter? In a world of divine curses, rebirth, and forbidden love - one truth remains: Someone is watching her. Waiting for her to remember. But what if remembering is exactly what will get her killed?
