She captured the prince.
Now she has to survive the king.

The Book

A FROST OF SILVER

His Gift is Command. Her refusal should be impossible.

Captain Isla Veyne has spent seven years fighting Caldris. When she captures its crown prince in the mountains, she expects interrogation, leverage, perhaps even death. She does not expect his magic to fail on her.

Declan Arden can force another person to obey with a single command. No one is supposed to be immune. Until Isla.

Months later, the war is finally ending and Isla is sent to the Caldrish capital with the delegation charged with securing the peace. The prince she once held prisoner is now a king—and somehow even more dangerous without a battlefield between them.

At court, every courtesy hides an intention, old enemies are suddenly expected to sit at the same table, and Declan is proving increasingly difficult to keep at a distance.

Especially when he seems just as determined to understand why she is the only person he cannot control.

But Declan’s Gift is not the only magic behaving strangely around Isla.

And as the line between enemy and ally begins to blur, she is forced to confront a possibility far more dangerous than wanting the wrong man:

There may be something inside her that was never meant to exist.
