Elara Thorne was her father's pride — the pampered elder daughter of a middle-income spice house in the kingdom of Aravell. Taught to read ledgers, not curtsy. Prince Rhaen was the kingdom's blade — the feared Crown Prince of Aravell. Taught to wage wars, not love. Cursed after the northern war to loose his ability to dream. Cold to the court, colder to himself. When their worlds collide in the snow of the Frost Pass — a girl in a too-big coat clutching a ruined ledger, and a prince collecting debts — it is "hate at first sight" but fate has something else in store for them ⭐️
