Kaelen keeps a whole mountain leashed in ice and silence, punishing himself for a tragedy that never stops echoing. If he slips, the valley below pays in blood.
Rae is the only one reckless enough to climb to his door and demand more than duty. Her warmth unsettles his control, tempting him with a future he doesn’t believe he deserves.
When storms turn feral and the thaw threatens to bury everything, the council demands his life as payment. Rae would rather defy her own people than watch him vanish into the snow.
To save the valley without losing each other, they must walk the most dangerous line of all—between sacrifice and the burning, forbidden hope of being chosen and staying.
