When Ice Melts

Book One of the Mages of Elementia

She doesn't belong in the capital.

She doesn't understand her magic.

And she definitely wasn't meant to catch his eye.

Hyacinth is no one-just a girl with unstable magic and a quiet heart, sent to the kingdom's glittering center to serve. But Centrum is a city of secrets, where beauty hides power and danger wears a noble face. At least she has her friends at her side, right?

As Hyacinth navigates courtly expectations and whispers of prophecy, she's drawn to a powerful mage whose shadows are as seductive as they are sharp. But trust is a fragile thing-and love can melt even the most carefully guarded truths.

Love is not the only force that can break you.

Sometimes, it's the one that remakes you.
