Echoes of a Bruise

He was a king forged in ice, his empire built on ruthless control. But when his bright, unassuming assistant is left bruised and broken, the ice shatters. In the quiet moments of tending to her wounds, a terrifying, possessive rage awakens within him. He'll keep his voice calm and his touch gentle, but in his mind, he's already burying the one who hurt her. He will burn the world to the ground to keep her safe, and she'll be the one to light the match.
