About this ebook
Elira is a daughter of summer, raised beneath a brutal father's sun and promised to the king of winter as the price of peace. The arranged marriage is meant to stop a war, reopen trade, and give starving Rimehold access to fertile land. To Elira, it feels like one more transaction in a life where her father has always valued daughters for what they can secure. Then an avalanche destroys her escort on the road to Thunderfell. Half-frozen and desperate, Elira reaches the northern court alone and makes a reckless choice: she tells King Kael Stormholt that the princess died in the storm and claims to be her surviving maid. The lie gives her temporary freedom. It also puts her directly under the protection of the man she was supposed to marry. Kael is nothing like the monster she imagined. The Thunder King is sharp-tongued, dangerous, and bound to ancient winter magic, but he refuses to let his council reduce his future wife to a bloodline or an heir. As Elira recovers in his mountain court, suspicion turns to fascination, and the deception meant to keep her free becomes the one thing that can destroy the trust growing between them. Beyond the palace, their kingdoms remain poised for violence. Inside it, Kael's magic, Elira's hidden identity, and a political bargain neither chose begin pulling them toward a future more dangerous than either expected. Elira escaped one cage by lying to a king. To build a life of her own, she may have to reveal the truth before her father, the court, or the winter itself exposes her first.
