A match made in heaven. A marriage frozen in hell. Queen Ailana of Nornne is famous for her magical powers over ice and snow and her equally frosty nature. The guiding force behind the Queens of Villainy, she makes every decision based on cool and unemotional calculations... Hot-headed High Priestess Clothilde has been under the brutal control of her brother, the Emperor of the Serafin Empire. But behind her public smiles, a fiery passion for justice has been building - and an equally hot passion for Ailana herself.
Clothilde proposes a marriage of convenience in their shared efforts to bring down her brother, but she's determined to melt all of Ailana's walls of ice, because Clothilde has been keeping another secret, too. The gods of the Imperial Pantheon have been speaking to her for years, and They've gifted her with two world-shaking truths: Ailana is her destined true love .
