A crown of frost. A heart of fire. A debt paid in blood.

Tesni lost everything to the Ice King’s Monster Guards. When they came for her next, she didn’t find mercy—she found Ronan. The high-born Fae who rules the Syndicate’s black market didn’t save her out of kindness; he claimed her as a pawn for his own rebellion. Now, locked in a world of shadows and blood, Tesni must navigate a court of monsters and the silver-tongued predator who thinks he owns her. But in a kingdom of eternal winter, even a captive can carry a flame—and she’s ready to burn the empire to the ground to get her revenge.
