The disgraced captain who hates magic. The exiled princess who wields it. And a realm on the brink of war.

Five years ago, Laena abandoned her crown. Now she lives in exile, tending her garden and hiding a deadly secret: she possesses magic in a realm where it's forbidden. And she's not the only one.

When shadow monsters attack and assassins strike, there's only one person who can help her: Captain Callum Farrow, the infamous magic hunter of Aglye.

He's sworn to destroy anyone who wields magic. She's sworn never to reveal her power.

One touch is all it takes to ignite something dangerous between them. One kiss to make her forget why she can't fall for him.

But as shadow monsters emerge and assassins strike, their forbidden attraction becomes the least of their problems.

Ancient magic stirs in the realm. Enemies gather at the borders. And Laena must choose between the man she loves and the kingdoms she's sworn to protect.

Some loves are worth risking everything for. Some duties demand you sacrifice it all.

Winter's Fate is the first book in a sizzling fantasy romance trilogy where duty and desire collide, and the fate of kingdoms hangs in the balance.
