She freezes everyone she touches… except him.
Arelia Frosinn has spent her life keeping everyone at a distance.
Her ice magic makes a single touch dangerous. No embraces. No stolen kisses. No chance of having the kind of love everyone else takes for granted.
Then a deadly epidemic sweeps through her clan, and its leaders turn to an ancient prophecy for salvation.
Their solution?
Arelia must become a sacrificial bride.
She runs.
Straight into Kaen Kalt—a fire-wielding warrior from an enemy clan who has every reason to distrust her.
Then he touches her.
And he doesn't freeze.
For the first time in Arelia's life, there is someone she can touch without hurting him.
Unfortunately, he's the last man she should want.
But as circumstances force them together, distrust turns into reluctant partnership—and every accidental touch makes it harder to remember why they're supposed to be enemies.
But Arelia can't outrun what she left behind. The epidemic is spreading. The ancient magic protecting their world is failing. And the prophecy she escaped may be connected to both.
To save her people, she'll have to uncover the truth alongside the enemy she's beginning to trust.
The enemy she can finally touch.
Because Arelia may have escaped becoming a sacrificial bride.
But she hasn't escaped the prophecy.
A low-spice, slow burn enemies-to-lovers romantasy.
