Fated to the Frost King: Frostbound Court, Book 1

A bastard fae with no power and a frost king with no patience—fate has a wicked sense of humor.

Everly Elarion has survived her entire life by staying invisible, a illegitimate fae navigating a world designed to crush those without status or magic. But invisibility is a luxury she can no longer afford when she's forcibly bound in marriage to Draven Ashwynter, the ruthless ruler of the Winter Court. Cold, commanding, and carved from the same ice that governs his crumbling kingdom, Draven needs a powerful mate to help him hold his court together. What he gets is Everly—defiant, unimpressive on paper, and absolutely unwilling to play the obedient queen.

This romantasy series opener delivers all the tension of an arranged marriage romance wrapped in lush, frost-bitten world-building that crackles with dark fae magic. Draven expects submission; Everly refuses it at every turn. She expects cruelty; he surprises her in ways neither of them are prepared for. As political threats close in around the Winter Court, these two adversaries are forced into an uneasy alliance that slowly, dangerously, begins to feel like something neither can afford to name.

With sharp-witted banter, slow-burning chemistry, and a royalty romance that refuses to follow easy paths, *Fated to the Frost King* asks one irresistible question: what happens when the coldest heart meets the one person it can't freeze out?
