A never-ending winter ... a stolen magic ... a hidden identity. What secrets does the enchanting sorcerer keep within his winter castle?

When the Shift tore open the veil between our reality and the hidden one, the world as we knew it ended. Now, magic is real, but advanced technology has long been lost to history. In the ever-frozen land of Norðurey, a new civilization thrives amidst the ruins of the Dead World.

All my life, I’ve aspired to become one of the most learned magic users in the realm—that was why I came to the High College of Magi in the first place. Finally, I’ve graduated from junior to senior mage, but before I can enjoy my newfound privileges, my headmistress gives me a special task: travel to the island of an exiled wizard and convince him to accept me as his apprentice.

My journey is long and perilous, as a massive dragon seems to stalk my path … but upon my arrival, the wizard’s company is no reprieve. Amon is unlike any man I’ve ever met. His demands and glacial eyes hold a dark seduction, yet he keeps me at arm’s length, as solitary and cold as the ancient castle in which he dwells.

But if the castle is as isolated as he claims, why do I keep hearing screams in the night? …And why do I suspect that Amon is connected to the dragon who threatened my life?

If I can uncover the secrets of the ice-bound castle and melt the heart of its master, it could mean achieving my life’s goal. Or, it could end my life entirely.

This is the first book in the Everwinter Series, a trilogy inspired by Icelandic mythology and dragons. It is a slow-burn, angst-filled fantasy romance with a dark twist, and pulls inspiration from Beauty and the Beast, Phantom of the Opera, and Gothic romance. The steaminess increases as the series progresses.
