When ancient wards begin to fail, winter witch Elowen Vey discovers someone is using her stolen magic to wake a primordial force that could freeze the world in perfect, eternal stillness. Sir Caelan Morric arrives to arrest her for crimes she didn't commit, but their investigation reveals a conspiracy that threatens everything they've sworn to protect. Together, they must journey into the Frostbound Wilds to stop Elowen's former mentor from completing a ritual that will remake reality according to his vision of absolute order. To succeed, Elowen must embrace the power she's spent years learning to fear, while Caelan must choose between the oath that defines him and the conscience that guides him. In a world where love kindles amid cosmic forces and choice proves stronger than compulsion, they'll forge a new kind of magic-one that serves protection over perfection, agency over optimization. A tale of magic and duty, sacrifice and redemption, where winter itself must learn the meaning of mercy.
