The Sun and the Starmaker

Reverie is a small village high in the snowy Lost Range, so far north that the Sun cannot reach it. Its people live because of the Starmaker, a mysterious sorcerer who crosses a vast glacier each morning and draws sunlight over the peaks.

Aurora Finch grew up on stories about him and never expected to meet him. On the morning of her wedding, she runs into him in the frostbitten woods. He senses a strong magic in her and demands that she come to study under him.

Because her new abilities are tied to the village's survival, Aurora is taken to his ice-covered castle, far from everything she knows. The Starmaker is cold and distant, like the mountain, and leaves her to wander the enchanted halls alone. The more she learns about him, the stronger the attraction between them grows, and the more she runs up against the secrets he will not share.

A deadly frost is closing in on the village. Aurora has to find out what he is hiding before an endless winter sets in, one that even the Sun cannot touch.

This is a romantic fantasy with a fairy-tale feel, whimsical in tone, built around a slow-burning attraction between a young woman and a guarded sorcerer in a frozen setting.
