She’s a huntress:
Sol d’Hillerod is sent on a desperate mission through a treacherous winter pass. She carries with her the only hope of her village’s survival, and she will do whatever she must to keep her world from burning.
He’s a monster:
Lieutenant Kelan Birke has spent his whole life fighting for his freedom and his soul. As his control slips, and the war rages on, he knows it won’t be long before he loses himself entirely to the fire that flows through his veins.
Sol and Kelan are enemies in an age-old war, forced to depend on each other to survive a perilous journey through the mountains. As fire melts the ice in Sol’s heart, she questions everything she’s been taught to believe, and Kelan becomes more desperate to fight the flames that consume him. Together they discover that their struggle will have repercussions for both sides of this burning war.

MY REVIEW: 4 Stars ⭐️
From enemies to lovers, Sol - Huntress/Mage and Kelan - Flameskin, must find a way to be together and end the war.
It’s hard when two people don’t want to be what they are and hate each other... at least in the beginning...
Sol and Kelan have to keep each other alive through the winter mountain pass after a dreadful accident. I’m doing so they find out about each other and ultimately find, they want the same things.
This story is character driven and not much works building, which is fine. I mean you CAN feel every bit of the cold and killings they go through but not much else. Either way, I very much loved Sol and Kelan and I look forward to their next adventures!

"I hate you," she muttered, clenching her teeth and willing tears to stop. How had she let herself cry in front of him? She wrapped her arms around her body. Now that she wasn’t wearing the emberstone manacle, the cold bit into her, nipping her uncovered face and fingers.
"Fire isn’t evil. We use fire to cook, to light and warm our homes. Without fire, humankind wouldn’t survive."
"But it is evil to use it like this. To be tainted by it. To let it enter the blood."
"I won’t apologize for saving your life."
"It’s better to die untainted than to let the poison take you."
"Maybe we aren’t so different," Kelan said softly. " We’re both afraid of what fire can do to us."

She blinked rapidly, fighting back the tears. Then she looped one arm around Kelan’s neck and pulled him in, meeting his lips with hers. His lips were hot, and kissing him was like tasting the first scents of spring after a long winter, it was the heady exhilaration of the hunt. He held her close, wrapping his arms around her waist, and the warmth of his body enveloped her. She pressed herself against him, hating how much she wanted his warmth, how much she wanted him.
