About this book
Fated mates. A covert academy of winged warriors. A hidden war between angels and demons—and one orphan girl with dormant powers caught in the middle.
Seventeen years of surviving the system taught me one thing: keep your head down and trust no one. But a chance collision with a dark-eyed stranger changes everything. Within hours, I'm nearly killed in a demon attack—and rescued by winged warriors who claim I’m one of them.
I run. Obviously.
They find me. Again. This time, they drag me to Invicta—a covert academy for demon hunters descended from celestial bloodlines. It's filled with secrets, suspicion, and power I don’t understand.
Xavier, the brooding second-in-command, insists I belong to him. Claims I’m something rare. Something important.
I say he’s wrong.
But there’s also Kole, the one who saved me and whose touch sets my veins on fire.
Both these men believe fate has already decided where I belong. But fate never asked me.
As darkness rises and my past unravels, I have to make a choice: run from what I am, or rise to meet it, before it consumes me.
SKY ICE is the pulse-pounding first book in the EARTHBOUNDERS dark fantasy romance trilogy. Expect slow-burn tension, morally gray winged warriors, and a fierce heroine coming into her own power.
Heads up: This book ends on a cliffhanger but the complete trilogy is now available!
Dive in and binge the full story.

This book had me completely enthralled all the way through. We start off meeting Arien, a young woman who has aged out of the foster care system and finds herself living on the street. She has managed to find part-time work at a bakery but spends most nights when it is too cold to sleep outside in a shelter. One night she is late and ends up getting thrown out because she dared complain about the condition of the bed she was expected to sleep in. She makes a decision to go and stay with another...

While the beginning of this story may be slower than expected, it ultimately develops into a captivating tale. This has world building, action, suspense, secrets, survival and a slow burn romance. We do receive a semi-cliffhanger, I can’t wait for book 2. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review. ) One person found this helpful

\"Sky Ice\" was definitely an interesting read. The world-building is a little all over the place, but that happens a lot when it's the first book in a fantasy series. There’s a lot thrown at you early on, and I was confused at times, but I still would like to see where the rest of the series goes. I liked the characters and really enjoyed the start of a found family vibe (which I’m always a sucker for). Even when I wasn’t totally sure what was happening plot-wise, I still wanted to keep...
