Ties of Frost

A self-reliant wyvern shifter. An extroverted ice elf. A deadly curse. Wyvern shifter Zidra and ice elf Kyrundar are members of a sacred order of elite warriors-and, according to Zidra, bitter rivals. While she seeks to prove she's the best without aid, Kyrundar believes their friendly competition makes them ideal partners. Then Kyrundar follows Zidra into a trap, and his distraction costs her everything. When Zidra is struck by a lethal ice curse, only ice magic can save her. Yet Kyrundar can't remove the curse, and as long as the curse is affecting Zidra, she can't shift. Worse, a side effect of his aid is a heartbond neither of them wants. Despite years of misunderstandings and recent resentments, they will have to cooperate to survive assassins and find a reclusive healer who can destroy the curse and the magical bond. But if they discover the accidental heartbond isn't a catastrophe after all, will either of them have the courage to admit it? Ties of Frost is book 7 in Tethered Hearts, a multi-author series of no spice fantasy romances. Each standalone story features a magical bond that forces the couple to discover how much they're willing to sacrifice for the sake of love.
