Cold-Blooded King: When Breaking a Curse Means Becoming One

By: T. Sterling, Catherine

She was sent to warm a frozen king's heart. She never expected to lose her own.
Sera Ashford didn't choose to become a tribute; she was sacrificed. Sent north to the kingdom of eternal winter, she's the latest offering to the Cold-Blooded King, the cursed ruler whose touch brings frost and whose heart has been frozen for three centuries.
King Aldric Thornwind has endured this ritual sixteen times before. Sixteen women were sent to break his curse. Sixteen failures. He's long abandoned hope that anyone could thaw the ice consuming him, piece by piece, year by year. But Sera is different, stubborn, brilliant, and inexplicably able to wield ice magic that should be impossible for a southerner.
As Sera delves into forbidden archives seeking answers, she uncovers a devastating truth: the curse isn't just Aldric's prison, it's a seal holding back an ancient evil. Breaking it the wrong way could unleash eternal winter upon the entire realm. And the only way to save him requires a sacrifice she never imagined: becoming the curse herself.
But what if true love's sacrifice doesn't mean choosing between them, what if it means choosing each other?
With political enemies circling, a traitor in their midst, and time running out before spring arrives, Sera and Aldric must decide: will they save themselves, or will they risk everything to forge a new destiny where fire and ice can finally coexist?
