When fire meets frost, both are changed forever.
The shadows have been growing in the kingdom of Braemorra, reminiscent of the First War when the Dark One spread his evil across the land. Braemorra’s only hope is the Guardians’ new Chosen Ones, promised in a prophecy from fifty years ago. But announcing their names is also the catalyst for the Dark One’s return. No one wants to be one of the Chosen Ones if history repeats itself.
Seventeen-year-old Saylor Ashborne, a baker in the royal kitchen, is suddenly thrust into the role of a Chosen One and granted newfound magical abilities, together with bossy Prince Evander Ironbrook, who seems to think she isn’t ready for the task. The magical tie binding her with the prince can neither be severed nor denied, and will she be able to wield her power of fire when all she’s known is yeast and dough?
For nineteen-year-old Prince Evander Ironbrook, the prophecy is a fracture line in everything he thought was certain. Forced to work alongside the girl at the center of it all, Evander must navigate a growing connection he cannot afford as well as learning to use his new magical abilities of ice.
Sent to recover four ancient relics before the darkness consumes the kingdom, Saylor and Evander head out reluctantly, unaware of what dangers they will face. As their journey draws them closer, cracks form in the prophecy itself, set to tear them apart forever. If it’s wrong—or worse, manipulated—then completing it could cost them not only their lives but the kingdom they’re trying to save.
