This book is a M/M fast burn romance featuring a trans masc love interest.

Eryx Hawk, a hardened mercenary marked by a cursed tattoo, seeks refuge from the shadows of his past in a backwater inn.

The innkeeper Saegard Nellgae, an elf far removed from the icy embrace of his homeland's frozen tundra, finds himself drawn into an unexpected storm.

When fate traps these two unlikely companions in the remote inn, they must confront their own beasts. Sheltered from the harsh winds outside, Eryx and Saegard may discover that running from the past is futile, and that home is not defined by where you come from, but by the connections you forge along the way.
