Frozen Prospects

Joining the secretive Guadel should have fulfilled dreams Va'del didn't even realize he had. When his sponsors are killed in an ambush a short time later, he instead becomes a pawn between various factions inside the Guadel ruling body. Jain's never known any life but that of a Guadel in training. She'd thought herself reconciled to the idea of a loveless marriage, but meeting Va'del changes everything. Their bond violates hundreds of years of precedent, but as wide-spread attacks threaten their world, the Guadel have no choice but to use even Jain and Va'del in their fight for survival.
