Some enemies cross mountains. The deadliest are inside the walls.
They say a stray from the lower city has no place beside the Jade Throne.
They say the Emperor’s love for him will be the end of the Akira line.
They say the dragon is dying.
Esumi has heard every whisper, and he knows the softest voices in the palace are the ones that want Haru dead. Someone in those halls is opening the doors.
The court wants an heir. The shadows want blood.
And beyond the mountains, something is moving under the snow.
All winter, the passes have stayed white and silent. The watchers have seen nothing. The beacons have stayed dark. Bara sleeps behind its walls, sure that no army could cross before the thaw.
They’re wrong.
Esumi swore he would never run again. But when the snow melts and the drums begin, love may not be enough to hold the line.
The snow is lying.
And when it melts, Bara will burn.
The fourth book in the epic MM fantasy romance series Land of Jade & Fire. Dragons, palace intrigue, forbidden love, and a war that has been waiting all winter to begin.
Genre: Fantasy
