Rosentine Enis Rilloraza's life was like a frozen garden, locked under her father's ice. She was a flower trapped in winter, unable to bloom, watching as her father buried every last piece of her world under snow.
Then Kartazen Matthias Saavedra arrived as the first spring rain. He melted the ice that had caged her, his warmth seeping into the barren soil until life stirred again. Together, they bloomed in the space where winter had been--- two delicate blossoms, rooted in shared vulnerability, defying the cold that still lurked at the edges.
But spring can't last forever.
And when the blizzard of a devastating truth hits, threatening to freeze her garden solid once more and yank her back into the suffocating snow she'd barely escaped, only one thing is certain: the bloom that grew in the dark will either survive the storm... or be crushed beneath it.
