Trapped for ten years in a frozen cell, Ashlyn has spent her life as a prisoner, her fiery powers suppressed by the one man who controls her every move-Sethis. She doesn't know why he took her, or why he keeps her alive, but she knows one thing: she can't escape him. Sethis, a being of ice and shadow, holds her freedom and her power in his hands, manipulating her with ruthless control.
When Ashlyn's powers begin to awaken in unexpected ways, she's faced with an unsettling truth-she's stronger than she ever imagined, and the only thing standing between her and freedom is the man who keeps her locked away. But as the tension between them deepens, so does the attraction she can't ignore, pulling her closer to the very man she swore to hate.
With her past haunting her and her future uncertain, Ashlyn must decide: can she break free of Sethis's control, or is she destined to burn for the very man who holds her captive? In a world where fire and ice collide, Ashlyn must find the strength to reclaim her power before it's too late.

Blood Will Tell
When Edin awoke in a stranger's bedroom, having forgotten everything but his name and age, he did not expect to be thrown into an ongoing war. As a gifted - a rare group of humans born with special abilities - Edin is forced to become a guardian and protect the realm of Idelhen from monsters, lest mankind fall prey to darkness. Arden Mægenstern, Idelhen's strongest guardian and the last stand against a sorcerer more powerful than most gifteds combined, takes Edin under her wing and works with him to restore his memories. A fateful encounter with a beast deems Edin worthy of becoming a guardian, and his sheer power promises an end to the sorcerer's reign of terror. However, just as he's thrust onto the battlefield, he realizes that there are more monsters than the feral creatures he's forced to slay. And they're waging a war within him. As Edin's inner demons and obscure past creep out of the shadows, the world wonders whether he really is Idelhen's next hope or its demise in disguise. Only blood will tell.
