Jake makes a snow alien at Christmas, and the alien comes to life and takes Jake on an adventure.

I was four hours old when I was cast out by my mother. I was cursed, she said. Kinder to let me die in the snow and the wind than let me live, only to be betrayed. I was 12 when the Duke found me and turned me into a Shadow: Bodyguard, spy, and assassin. I was 14 when he brought me to court. He wanted his niece on the throne by any means possible. I was to be her weapon, wielded as she and the Duke saw fit. But she wants more. She’s playing her own game.

I crave Rafferty. His touch. His scent. Even his broody temperament. He’s given me something to live for just when I’m on the brink of death. I see him when I close my eyes, moments before the nightmares take over. Nightmares that remind me how small I am in comparison to what’s out there. And even as I know my death will be his salvation, it’s my sacrifice that threatens to tear the world apart.

When the doctors mention hospice, I know it’s time to take my life—or death—into my own hands. Stumbling through a portal into the fae realm wasn’t part of the plan. But then I see him—the man who claimed my dreams with glimpses of his piercing golden gaze. Seeing him once gave me strength; now, he gives me hope. The creatures here claim he’s a rebel. A murderer. A traitor to their crown—a crown they say I’m tied to in irrevocable ways. I say he might be my only path to salvation.

This is a adult fantasy romance between a fallen fae warrior and a human woman who finds herself in the clutches of his brother. The series is a slow burn and action packed, but it does contain dark themes.

Altered by suffering, hardened by trauma, when I finally emerge into the next phase of my life—or rather death—I am no longer the same person. He is what keeps me going. What brings me home. By the time I make my way back, though, Rafferty is gone. Changed. Forged in the flames of his own darkness.
