Exiled to the frozen edge of the Empire, Scarlett is meant to die among prisoners, snow, and hunger. Instead, she chooses Logan, a chained and broken War God everyone fears and mocks. With forbidden Life Magic, she grows food from cursed soil, heals his ruined meridians, and awakens the wolf blood the Empire tried to bury. But every miracle draws greed, betrayal, and armies to their door. As beasts kneel, enemies close in, and old secrets bleed open, Scarlett must decide: survive as an outcast, or become the queen who makes the Empire tremble before winter claims them both forever.
