Her village burned. Her family gone.
And the man responsible stands beside her.
Kael is Winter. A soldier shaped by obedience and cold, trained to destroy without hesitation.
He should have left her to die.
He didn't.
Instead, he took her.
Now he's leading her North—into enemy territory, into the heart of Winter, into a world where survival means trusting the one person she has every reason to hate.
The borders between seasons are breaking. And something older than Winter itself is waking.
Hazel is caught in its path.
She should hate him. She does.
But the closer they get to the truth, the harder it becomes to remember which side they belong to.
Because some forces don't just destroy the world. They change people.
And Hazel may be the one thing Kael was never meant to protect.
A dark romantasy, enemies-to-lovers tension, and slow-burn romance where love is as dangerous as the forces trying to tear the world apart.
