Sky Ice
by E.G. Sparks
Book 1 in The Earthbounders
Arien is broke, orphaned, and done trusting strangers before a demon attack drags her into Invicta, where winged warriors think her bloodline matters more than her consent. The pull between Kole and Xavier keeps the romance messy, but the real hook is watching her stop running from a power everyone else wants to claim.
