The Ice General's Burning Heart

When a cold-blooded general is forced to protect the fiery thief he once imprisoned, trust becomes the most dangerous battlefield of all.

He's ice. He's fire. And together, they're about to burn down a kingdom.

Lan Xuanji has spent years building walls of frost around his heart. As the Crimson Realm's feared Ice General, he's kept order through discipline, distance, and an utter refusal to feel. But when he's ordered to oversee the sentence of Jin Lian-a reckless fire elemental caught trying to steal the kingdom's sacred flame-Xuanji's carefully frozen world begins to thaw.

Jin is everything Xuanji isn't: flirtatious, unpredictable, and infuriatingly warm. Assigned to serve in the royal kitchens instead of facing execution, Jin begins to melt hearts across the palace... and stir up long-buried secrets.

When the soulflame that sustains the realm begins to flicker, and rebellion ignites from within, Xuanji and Jin must choose between duty and desire. The fire between them might just save the world-or consume them both.

2nd Book of Soulflame Chronicles can also be readed as a standalone: a slow-burn fantasy romance about trust, redemption, and learning to love without armor.

A slow-burn queer fantasy where an emotionally frozen general falls for the fire thief he once chained-set in a court of magic, rebellion, and found family, where food is power and trust is everything.
