    The Fire Prince’s Ice Queen: A Romantasy of Opposing Elements and Unbreakable Bonds 🔥❄️👑 
    Prince Kael of the Fire Kingdom expected a political alliance when he agreed to marry Princess Elara of the Ice Realm—a strategic move to prevent a catastrophic war between their peoples. He braced for a frosty union with a woman of ice; she prepared to be scorched by a man of fire. 
    But when an ancient, long-dormant magic surges to life at their union, their opposing powers don't clash—they merge, creating something new, unpredictable, and dangerously powerful. As Kael's flames dance with Elara's frost, they discover that the heat of passion can melt the coldest barriers, and the strongest bonds often form where fire meets ice. 
    Now, with their kingdoms on the brink of destruction and their unexpected connection deepening, they must learn to trust each other completely. Their arranged marriage may have begun as a political tool, but it could become the only force capable of saving both their worlds from annihilation.
