Summary

A cold hearth is a weak house. For twenty-three years, that was the law of the Solar capital. It was the reason Sloane Vaelith was forced to swallow a bitter, copper-colored tincture every morning, drowning the forbidden winter of her inner dragon so her sister's bright, loud sparks could inherit the room. It was the reason she was bartered away to Crown Prince Dominic, a line item on an engagement manifest meant to clear her father's mounting debts. But everything is a transaction, and a transaction only lasts until the scale breaks. On the steps of the imperial altar, the contract is shattered. Deemed a defective, heatless asset, Sloane is publicly stripped of her titles and exiled to the brutal frontier of the Northern Marches, bound by an ancient clause to the ruthless Warlord Constantine. The capital thought they were burying an embarrassment in the snow. They entirely failed to look at the books. In the isolation of the mountains, the medicine burns out, and Sloane's true frost dragon physiology awakens alongside Constantine's subterranean furnace. She did not spend her years of managed silence weeping; she spent them mapping out the exact structural and financial vulnerabilities of her birth house. Free from her chains, Sloane is ready to unleash an ancient, unyielding winter upon the very empire that discarded her.
