Summary
Euphemia Kelet, known throughout the empire as the ‘Ice Lady’ for her unyielding composure, faces a sudden, humiliating decree: her engagement to the crown prince is annulled. Cast aside and forced into a new, politically inconvenient marriage, she is banished to the desolate, monster-ridden northern territories. Her new husband? Duke Siegfried Dinkela, a man whose name is whispered with fear, a ruthless tyrant ruling a land where only the strong survive.
Yet, within the frigid walls of his castle, Euphemia finds not the cold indifference she expects, but a tempest of passionate kisses. Siegfried’s unexpected warmth begins to chip away at her icy facade, igniting a dormant, mysterious power deep within her. As the duke’s fervent affection melts her frozen heart, a blazing fire awakens, threatening to consume her carefully constructed world and reveal a destiny far grander—and more dangerous—than she ever imagined. Dive into the first chapter and witness the thaw!
