A self-reliant wyvern shifter. An extroverted ice elf. A deadly curse.
Wyvern shifter Zidra and ice elf Kyrundar are members of a sacred order of elite warriors—and, according to Zidra, bitter rivals. While she seeks to prove she's the best without aid, Kyrundar believes their friendly competition makes them ideal partners.
Then Kyrundar follows Zidra into a trap, and his distraction costs her everything.
When Zidra is struck by a lethal ice curse, only ice magic can save her. Yet Kyrundar can't remove the curse, and as long as the curse is affecting Zidra, she can't shift. Worse, a side effect of his aid is a heartbond neither of them wants.
Despite years of misunderstandings and recent resentments, they will have to cooperate to survive assassins and find a reclusive healer who can destroy the curse and the magical bond.
But if they discover the accidental heartbond isn't a catastrophe after all, will either of them have the courage to admit it?
Ties of Frost is book 7 in Tethered Hearts, a multi-author series of no spice fantasy romances. Each standalone story features a magical bond that forces the couple to discover how much they're willing to sacrifice for the sake of love.
