The Assassins of Quadrania series continues in this bold and sexy sequel that's inspired by Hades & Persephone. Fire and ice don't mix.

At least, that's what Melia Itea, Princess of the Summer Kingdom, has always believed. But all that's about to change now that she's being forced to stay in the Winter Kingdom for six months - so the Winter King can decide if he wants to marry her or not.

And despite being exiled from the Assassin's Guild for rebelling against the Commander, Melia cannot allow herself to stand by while more innocent people are killed by a sadistic monster. As her time in the Winter Kingdom passes and more bodies turn up, Melia grows frantic to stop the slaughter and bring the killer to justice.

But as she grows closer to the Winter King, she realizes she must make a choice. Will she let herself finally fall in love with someone unexpected? Or will she find that a fiery soul hellbent on revenge isn't able to thaw an icy, wounded heart?INTENDED FOR MATURE READERS 18+ - Detailed trigger warnings listed in the book.
