Princess Neraya has been trained to fight, heal, and obey the demands of Frostmere's crown. None of that prepares her for being promised to a foreign prince while her kingdom hides secrets behind walls of ice. Before she can decide what duty will cost her, she is thrown into the path of Kaelric, the feared Storm Reaper whose name is spoken like a threat. Neraya considers him arrogant, dangerous, and possibly responsible for more bloodshed than he admits. Kaelric finds the princess stubborn enough to turn captivity into a daily battle.

She can heal, she can fight, and she may be able to wield far more than anyone knows, but every secret makes trust more dangerous. Kaelric has spent years surviving a kingdom built on manipulation. Neraya is only beginning to understand how much of her life has been shaped by the same hands. If they choose each other, they risk crowns, alliances, and the wrath of people who need them divided. In a realm ruled by ice and storms, love may be the only force powerful enough to expose the truth, and the most dangerous oath either of them can make.
