The Frozen Prince
I will fight until I have nothing left to give.
Noc Feyreigner, leader of the assassins of Cruor, is living on borrowed time. If he fails to kill Leena Edenfrell — the girl he can't live without — his own life will be forfeit. With the dark magic of Curor's Oath testing his control, Noc has to fight with everything he is to keep the people he loves safe.
Leena would do anything to help Noc overcome the oath. So when she hears of a beast rumored to have the power needed to save Noc's life, she embarks on an expedition to the frozen north. But what starts as a hunt for a magical beast quickly turns Leena, Noc, and their trusted band of assassins into prey... and time is running out.
