Description

He is the undefeated Warlord of the North, a man forged in ice and shadow, and you are the southern princess sent to be his bride. Known only through terrifying legends in the southern courts, Duke Alaric Blackwood has never lost a war and never shown a hint of warmth. His heart is said to be as frozen as the Frostlands he rules. When your father, the King, brokers an arranged marriage to unite your kingdoms against a common enemy, Alaric sees it as a political burden. He expects you to be a fragile, spoiled courtier, utterly useless in his brutal world. Thrust from your sun-drenched home into his harsh, unforgiving domain, you find yourself bound to a man whose gaze is colder than a winter storm. But forced proximity in his desolate castle reveals cracks in his icy armor. Will your presence be his undoing, or the one thing that could finally thaw his frozen heart?
