The Winter Prince Pacts & Prices #2: A Cold Romantic Fantasy of Winter Oaths, Consent, and a Bell that Uncovers Lies (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798263880729)

Elara Finch is a sunshine-chaos junior archivist sent to secure the legendary Waking Bell-the relic that makes whispers matter. Her assigned escort is Theron Halcyon, a winter prince with a court sleeping under ice and a vow he refuses to break.

They sign a field-guard pact-ask, answer, adjust-and step into a city where bargains echo louder than truth. Night markets turn dangerous, mirrored corridors misbehave, and a single, ill-timed rumor threatens to rewrite Elara's name. As heat builds into trust, every choice must be spoken out loud-on rooftops, in ledger rooms, and beneath auroras that don't care for shortcuts.
