Between Fire And Frost

Dumbzzy
Between Fire and Frost Kael Voss is a commoner from the south slums with a hidden ability — he can control his own body temperature. Driven by a promise to get his mother out of poverty, he earns a place at the military academy where he meets Selara Solaris, the brilliant first daughter of a High Councilor. What starts as a cautious connection becomes something neither of them expected. Standing in their way is Voren Hale — a noble rival who doesn't love Selara but intends to own her. Politically connected and quietly ruthless, Voren works in the shadows: funding illegal research to control the alien Edgekin, manipulating council arrangements to force a formal engagement between himself and Selara, and kidnapping Kael's mother to use as leverage. With the academy's Inter-Squad Championship approaching, Selara trapped at Voren's side, and his mother missing, Kael is out of allies and running out of time. But Voren has made one mistake — he pushed the wrong person. A story about power, sacrifice, and two people who refuse to let the world decide what they're worth.
