The Duke of Biplten is said to freeze people stiff with just a glance, but Elyn dreamed a prophetic dream of spending her first night with him.

Ostracized by the estate’s residents for her visions, Elyn rarely ever stepped beyond its walls. Still, fate led her toward the Duke of Biplten, a man whose face she had never once seen.

'Is the Duke of Biplten really that dangerous?'

'In my dream, he was unmistakably gentle.'

'Why is it that the Duke of Biplten, the man who rules winter with his authority, whose sword moves faster than his words, is gentle only with me?'

"If you were to see my true self, Elyn,
you would never be able to leave this castle again."

All I wanted was to escape the estate. But now, the master of winter has become obsessed with me.
