"Aren't you... cold?"
A nameless slave and child from the frozen Northern Hinterlands had never known warmth, kindness, or love until Princess Alice reached out her hand.
Taken into the Empire, he is given a home, a family, and a new name, Lucien. But the world that saved him is stained by the same cruelty that once chained him. As nobles scheme, slavery festers, and rebellion rises, Lucien must decide how far he is willing to go to protect the girl who gave him everything.
Born in the snow. Raised by royalty. Torn between two families and two worlds.
Lucien was once called undesirable.
But to those he loved, he became a son, a brother, a knight and the shield standing between light and darkness.
