When a new castle steward arrives, carrying a warmth that unsettles my carefully ordered world, everything begins to change.As court intrigue tightens around me and forbidden alliances deepen, I sense a presence moving through my dreams and shadows—someone who sees me long before I see him. Someone who feels like fate made flesh, impossible to ignore.But who is he?When my magic awakens beneath the hush of the ancient woods in ways I cannot deny, the choice I once believed impossible finally becomes mine. I can remain encased in the frost that has shaped my life, or shatter it and follow the whispers leading me toward a destiny that must be more than this.
