In an empire where seasonal power determines rank, summer has reigned for centuries. But winter is rising.
Commander Lawson Frost’s winter powers should have left him forgotten in an empire ruled by summer magic.
Instead, his brilliance on the battlefield has earned him the unthinkable—command of the entire northern territories.
But different is dangerous.
The summer-born nobility see his rise as a threat to centuries of tradition—and they’d rather see him buried in the ground than seated in power.
Now the imperial court whispers of rebellion. If winter can lead summer’s armies, what’s to stop it from seizing summer’s throne?
Lady Whitney Green’s spring magic makes her the perfect mediator between seasons. But her growing fascination with the ice-bound commander risks everything she’s worked for—including her life.
In a realm where magic is power and tradition is law, ice is about to meet fire.
