When Ice Melts

When Ice Melts:: The Mages of Elementia Book One

Some secrets change who you are, and some secrets change how the world sees you...
Hyacinth never dreamed that one day she would discover she had magic- but when her hand froze a pot of ice on her 16th birthday, that's exactly what happened.
She also discovered she was the illegitimate daughter of a powerful Duke, and now part of the society of noble Mages. She iswhisked away to the capital, where glittering ballrooms and secluded terraces can either make one sparkle... or scandal.
She is surrounded by a circle of powerful mages, some of who's affections complicate the secrecy around her birth and make her wish for things she has never allowed herself to wish for...
In a world where magic defines worth, Hyacinth must forge her own path and decide who she is when her heart is pulling her in two different directions- the powerless girl from the village, or the powerful Mage with desires of her own.
When Ice Melts is a sweeping romantic fantasy about discovering your worth, finding out what defines family, and learning that following your heart is not always as easy as it seems.
