From the Cold
Not yet published
Expected 27 Jan 26She was born to be a lady of the court… not a woman who can kill a monster made of death.
When a soul-stealing demi-lich stalks her father’s lands, twenty-year-old Claris seizes the one chance she’s ever had to break free of her gilded future. Joining the hunt means defying tradition, risking scandal, and possibly her life… but it also means finally becoming the warrior she’s dreamed of.
Earning her place among the seasoned garde is hard enough. Resisting Torsten is harder. The aggravatingly handsome warrior with a roguish smile challenges her every step… and makes her wish her future weren’t already promised.
As fae tricksters, corpse crawlers, and marauders close in, Claris’s blade skills are pushed to their breaking point, and so is the slow-burn desire she and Torsten can no longer ignore.
But the demi-lich has a secret weakness… and exploiting it will demand a sacrifice Claris never expected.
To save her people, she must decide what she’s willing to risk—her duty, her future, or her heart.

What happens when a lady has the heart of a warrior and her land is threatened by a demi-lich? I really enjoyed this story. The characters were all well planned and unique. The atmosphere was vast and the fight scenes were amazing. And the slow burn was slow burning. The chapters were on the longer side so just know this in advance if you convince yourself of "one more chapter" before bed.

A Captivating, Wintry Escape ❄️
From the Cold by Mia K. Rose is a beautifully atmospheric story that wraps you in frostbitten landscapes, simmering tension, and tender emotional beats. From the very first page, Rose creates a world where every icy breath feels intentional, every moment between the characters charged with something deeper waiting to thaw.
The characters are the heart of this book—layered, vulnerable, and shaped by the cold around them. Their journey, both physical and emotional, is filled with quiet bravery and hard-won connection. The slow warmth that builds between them feels authentic and deeply satisfying, like finding a fire on a freezing night.
Rose’s writing is vivid without overwhelming, and her pacing strikes a nice balance between introspective moments and gripping scenes that keep the pages turning. While a few parts feel intentionally slow, the payoff is worth it, delivering a story full of heart, resilience, and unexpected sweetness.
A wonderfully immersive read that blends chill and charm in equal measure. Perfect for curling up with on a cold night. ❄️💙

When a deadly demi-lich needs to be hunted, twenty-year-old Claris defies tradition and vows to destroy it—risking her reputation, her father’s standing, and her own life. But to succeed, she must rely on the one man she shouldn’t trust: her future father-in-law’s infuriatingly handsome garde.
I found this book to be extremely well written. Very detailed and the pacing was perfect. It was easy to fall into the story and feel very immersed!
I really appreciate the opportunity given by Nerd Fam to read this ARC!

I am very appreciative of Mia K Rose and their team for the opportunity to read an e-ARC of From The Cold!
This was such an entertaining, fast-paced read! I enjoyed the sense of adventure, and Claris’s journey to discover herself outside of her Demoiselle role.
I really liked the found family aspect of this story as Claris got to know all of her garde members!

I thought this was a fun read! Quiet enjoyed the story line, the romance part of this book wasn’t amazing I found it didn’t take away from the plot line which was nice! Can’t wait to read something else by this author.
