They survived the binding. They built a sanctuary. Now they must protect what they've created-before it's too late.
Three months ago, Mira and Kael shattered centuries of hatred between Fire and Ice Courts, forging a weapon of unity that ended a siege and proved fire and ice could coexist. Now, as Guardians of a thriving sanctuary, they're building something the courts said was impossible: a home where unified magic isn't forbidden-it's celebrated.
But peace comes with a price.
Mira is pregnant with the first child born of unified magic, and the sanctuary is fracturing under the weight of impossible choices. When the Ice King's sabotage leaves fifteen dead and threatens everything they've built, Mira must choose between the mercy that defines them and the justice her people demand.
While a darker threat spreads in silence.
The Ashen Wastes are growing. Land is dying. Magic itself is corrupted. And the life growing inside Mira might be the only hope for healing a world that's been broken for two hundred years-if she can protect it long enough to give birth.
The storm they unleashed saved them once. But the storm coming will test whether unity is strong enough to survive when the cost is everything they love.
The explosive sequel to Forged in Frost. Some bonds are forged in fire and ice. Others are shattered in the trying.
