I crave her as much as I can't have her. Ice

Sabelle Rion is tempting...and forbidden. Her golden beauty lures me like a flame, her every glance daring me to burn. She's my enemy's sister. My weakness. And now, my mission.

As evil closes in on the apocalyptic weapon we're hiding, Sabelle's life-and the fate of magickind-hang in the balance. I've sworn to protect her, but every moment she's near tests my control. Her scent, her touch, her fiery defiance-they all make me want to claim what I shouldn't. I'm a warrior. Cold. Ruthless. But for her, I'd scorch the world.

*** Sabelle Isdernus Rykard is trouble. His glittering eyes promise danger, his rough hands leave me breathless, and his kiss steals my reason. I shouldn't want him, but the harder I resist, the more I'm drawn to his fire.

With my brother dying and terror rising, the Council demands I choose a mate to save us all. Duty says it can't be Ice. But my heart is already his. As war looms, the line between love and destruction is razor-thin. And I'm about to cross it.
