Tower of the Ice Lord

Don't you believe someone can love enough to die for another?

Arius the sorcerer has lived in solitude for centuries, watching over his frozen tundra and sending his ice wolves against the kingdom of Evernesse. Only a sacrifice of royal blood can end the war, and it comes when Loren, son of the king of Evernesse, arrives at the Ice Lord's tower, willing to die to procure peace. Though stunned and mistrustful, Arius agrees. But as the fateful day draws nearer, Arius learns Loren's bravery and commitment run deeper than he suspected, and Loren begins to see the lonely man beneath the Ice Lord's mask. Arius's god demands a sacrifice, Loren might be his people's only hope, and both men must choose between the conflicting demands of duty and love.
