Rhea has heard all the stories about the icy Lore castle. The mysterious castle in the forest that nobody dared to enter, for fear of the monstrous entity prowling close by and the snowstorm guarding the mansion.  When Rhea meets Erick at her first ball of the season, she finds out he is the Lore prince. Erick whisks her away to the Lore castle as he declares Rhea to be his mate. Upon arrival, Erick does everything he can to keep his distance from her and yet demands she stay with him. Rhea tries to find a way out, but time is running out for Erick and the inhabitants of the Lore castle as each snowflake falls.
