In the Ice Emperor’s Birdcage

Once hailed as the empire’s brightest star, Princess Rowena of Bennett was cherished by all. Her joyful youth ended abruptly at fifteen when she was falsely accused of her half-sister’s murder, stripped of status, and plunged into years of suffering. Five years on, an unexpected summons arrives from Finlay, the new Emperor of Osborne, who murdered his own father to claim the throne. Though they shared a sibling-like bond in childhood, painful history prevents Rowena from opening her heart, while Finlay, burdened by his bloody deeds, fears to draw close. Now, the long-stalled wheels of destiny between them slowly begin to turn again.
