[The Fires of Destiny 02] • Cold Front

**Sequel to Life Beyond the Temple**

Ever since she was a child, mage Casey Kelly dreamed of a life just like the one she’s living now: peacefully engaged to former knight Regan Cartmell. So why isn’t she satisfied?

Their quiet life of ease changes abruptly when Ston, a dark elf, arrives to warn them of impending danger and request their help. The dark elves, long ago banished and driven underground by humans, have returned—with a growing army and plans for revenge. Their only hope is for Casey to convince the underfae to join her cause, giving her an army of her own. And then she must lead them against enemies unlike any she’s ever faced.

Worst of all, one of Casey and Regan’s most trusted friends offers a warning: Ston is not what he seems.
