The Duke of Biphelten is said to be so terrifying that just meeting his eyes can make your whole body freeze. Ilynn dreams a prophetic vision of spending her first night with him.

Because the people of the estate shun Ilynn for having prophetic dreams, she rarely ever leaves the manor. And yet—she’s supposed to share her wedding night with the Duke of Biphelten, a man whose face she has never even seen.

But is the duke truly as dangerous as everyone claims?

In that first-night dream, he was gentle.

The Duke of Biphelten—who rules winter with his power, and whose sword is faster than his words—why is he kind only to her?

“If you see my true self, you’ll never be able to leave this castle again, Ilynn.”

All she had to do was escape the manor…
but the master of winter becomes obsessed with her.
