I was a scientist. I resurrected dead planets—until mine became one of them.
When my ship crashed on Xylos, I was stranded on a world split between fire and frost, where survival lasts only as long as the sun's favor. My mission was to save worlds. Now, I'm the one who needs saving.
Then he found me. Zathian, chieftain of the Cinder-Clad. A warrior born of flame and ash, with eyes like dying embers and a heart hardened by war. He was ready to walk away and let the planet finish me—until fate intervened.
A single touch, and an impossible bond ignited. The Heart-Bond. It keeps me alive. It ties me to him. It's a connection neither of us understands, but one we can't escape.
Now his body is my shield against the deadly cold. His warmth, my only refuge.
He calls me fragile. I call him a mystery—a broken leader who might hold the key to saving his world... and mine.
On a planet where fire wages war against ice, one human woman and one alien warrior are bound by a force older than the stars.
His touch is life.
His love might be the death of me.
