Emberwitch
She burns everything she touches. He freezes everything he touches. Together, they're the only safe thing either of them has ever known.
Sera Brandt is a Class-Red fire mage - the most dangerous classification the Empire recognizes, and the most disposable. After her grief burns a village bakery to the ground, she's not executed. She's sentenced: shipped ten days north to Coldwall, a frontier bastion at the edge of the world, to be made useful or be made an example.
Coldwall's commander is the one man the Empire thinks can contain her. Edric Vane - the Commander of Frost - radiates a cold so absolute it kills. He has spent years learning to touch nothing and no one. And he is the single person alive whose ice can cancel Sera's fire, the only one she cannot burn... and the only one who cannot freeze her in return.
The Empire calls it Thermodynamic Cancellation. They want to forge it into a weapon. But as the training sessions turn into something neither of them will name, as an Imperial Examiner arrives to turn their connection into leverage, and as the Breach at the edge of the bastion begins to tear open, Sera and Edric discover that the only place their power doesn't destroy is in each other's hands.
In a war that wants to use them both, the most dangerous thing they can do is the one thing they've never been allowed: touch.
A slow-burn enemies-to-lovers fantasy romance with a unique elemental magic system, a frozen frontier under siege, and two people who were taught their whole lives that they could only ever be alone. Steamy, standalone, with a hard-won happily ever after.
