A Debt of Ice and Embers (The Sundered Fates)

Some debts are paid in gold. Others are paid in flesh, pride, and everything you swore you'd never surrender.

In the frost-bitten realm of Brunemar, where ice swallows the weak and mercy is a forgotten word, Neve watches her father's debt to the fearsome Fae lord Luceran Frostwyn spiral beyond anything he can repay. The penalty — a lifetime breaking stone in the lethal Aurevault mines — will kill him before the first thaw. So Neve does the only thing she can: she offers herself instead.

Bound within the walls of Luceran's frozen castle, Neve expects cruelty. What she doesn't expect is something far more complicated. Her captor is cold, yes — imperious, sharp-tongued, and haunted by a past drenched in blood and shadow — but beneath the frost runs something darker still. An ancient force is pressing in at the borders of Brunemar, and Luceran may be the only thing standing between the realm and total ruin.

Surviving his court is its own battle. Surviving *him* requires every ounce of wit she possesses. But the most dangerous threat of all might be the slow, reluctant pull she feels toward a man she has every reason to despise.

Steeped in gothic atmosphere, lush world-building, and the kind of enemies-to-lovers tension that burns even in a world of perpetual winter, *A Debt of Ice and Embers* is the dark romantasy you won't be able to put down — no matter how much you tell yourself you should.
