Born beneath the blazing sun, Himari Yuka inherited the ancient power to command light itself. Trained to guard her family's legacy, she wishes only for peace-until her clan's lands are ravaged by a hidden army of Shinobi thieves. When the ambush leaves blood in the snow, Himari's path collides with that of Bi-Han, the cold and ruthless assassin known as Sub-Zero.
Bound by fate and necessity, the two warriors form an uneasy alliance between fire and frost. The Shinobi leader has placed a bounty on Bi-Han's head, drawing killers from every realm. Together, Himari and Bi-Han must cut through betrayal, vengeance, and the ghosts of their pasts to uncover the truth behind the bounty before the next hunt begins.
But in the shadows of Mortal Kombat, where death is honor and trust is rare, an unexpected warmth begins to melt the ice between them. As realms tremble and loyalties fracture, their bond could save them-or doom them both.
Kuai Liang does not see violence as an answer. After Quan Chi is defeated, he falls back to his temple where he is Grandmaster. He doesn't have any children and no love interest.
He is a cold but calm man who greatly respects his tribe.
So what will happen when he finds an infant at his temple doorstep?
Will he train the child or find a safer place for it?
