A prequel in the Destiny's Edge universe.
When Gyrda was little, the old women of her town used to tell stories of the orcs in the mountains, how they would take in a human woman fleeing an unpleasant husband if she agreed to share a monster's bed. They're probably just legends, too shocking to be true, but when her own husband's cruelty becomes too much to bear, she leaves the human lands, the risk of an uncertain future a better choice than the misery of wasting her life with a man who never loved her.
Sahginoth, Chief of the Delakki Mountain orcs, is content with his simple life. He lives alone, leads his village alone. Then one night, he discovers a human woman taking refuge in one of his hunting caves. She's a strong and stubborn creature, as solitary and solemn as him, and when she offers to help him on his hunts in exchange for sanctuary, he agrees.
As the nights in the high mountains grow ever colder and darker, these two lonely souls discover a passion that could thaw any long-frozen heart.
("Beneath the Frozen Stars" is an age-gap monster romance with a virginal demisexual hero and a plus-size heroine in her 30s. It can be read alone, or with the rest of the series in any order. The Destiny's Edge series is open door fantasy romance with happy endings but grimdark elements.
