Episode 1 · Chapter One: The Ward That Wept

About

Raelin Vey, a mortal fire-witch hiding her power in a border village, is taken as tribute to the Winter Court after her magic accidentally melts the boundary ward. The Winter Prince, Kaelith — cursed so that everything he touches freezes — needs her fire to survive his coronation rites. They despise each other on sight. They are also the only two people in the world who can touch each other without dying. As the coronation approaches, a usurper moves in the shadows of the court, and the bond growing between fire and frost becomes the one thing neither of them can afford — and neither can give up.
