From author J.N. Kindig comes a standalone novella featuring a Norse-inspired setting, a king with an ice-cold heart, and the least romantic arranged marriage you'll likely ever read. When Sívar, the prince of Ispinne, slays a dragon, he finds that it’s no ordinary beast—the dragon is a nameless woman who’s been cursed to take that form. Word of her rescue spreads and the two are married, but when her secret is discovered, Sívar must choose between his vows and his duty to his kingdom. Please note that “Breathing Ice Like Fire” is intended for mature audiences and contains instances of violence and blood, slight body horror, attempted murder, and the death of a parent. Reader discretion is advised.
