Claimed By The Ice Chief

Lyra Wynn has always had an insatiable curiosity for the unknown, sparked by her father's tales of far-off places. Despite his neglect and resentment toward her-blaming her for her mother's death-Lyra cherished those rare moments when he shared stories of his past travels. With her mother gone, and her father lost to his own bitterness, Lyra grew up yearning for adventure, determined to discover the world that her father had once loved. When he passed away, she made a vow at his grave: to explore new worlds and uncover forgotten secrets. So when she's offered the chance to study an alien planet, Lyra seizes the opportunity, unaware that this journey will lead her to the most extraordinary discovery of all.

Therzik, the Chief of the Kelari on the frozen world of Virelia, has lived centuries without the warmth of a true mate. As time passed, ice filled his veins, and his once-burning desire to bond with another slowly turned to cold indifference. Ready to give in to the frost that consumed him, he closes his eyes, expecting to fade into nothingness, like the many Kelari who never found their match. But fate, or perhaps the goddess Sylthara, has a different plan. Therzik awakens to a sensation he hasn't felt in centuries-a warmth spreading through him. The source of this strange heat? A female of a distant species, studying him through the ice that had once been his prison.

In a world of endless frost, Lyra's discovery could be the key to not only unlocking Therzik's heart but also to a future that neither of them ever imagined.
