COLD SNAP RISING
THE UNIVERSE DID NOT SCREAM WHEN IT FROZE. IT CRACKED.
In the dead of a godless winter, heat is the only currency left-and spending it could cost you your life.
Vesta is a Runesmith, a scholar of magic trapped in the frozen wasteland of Argentis. Rook is a Scavenger, a scarred titan of a man built for violence and survival. Together, they have turned the Alchemical Lodge into a fortress against the apocalypse, powered by the roaring heart of the Great Furnace.
But the Cold Snap is no ordinary storm.
It is an atmospheric crush, a density event so heavy it shatters iron and crystallizes the air in your lungs. When the pressure drops and the temperature plummets, the lodge's defenses begin to buckle. Pipes burst. Wards fail. The frost creeps inside, hunting them room by room.
AND THE DEAD ARE LISTENING.
Outside, the Thermo-Tropic horde has massed. These aren't the shambling corpses of the old world; they are heat-seeking missiles made of frozen meat and hunger. They are nesting against the walls, absorbing the lodge's warmth, waiting for a breach. Every spark of the furnace rings the dinner bell. Every rise in temperature draws them closer.
To survive, Rook and Vesta must do the unthinkable.
THE BLACKOUT PROTOCOL.
They must kill the lights. They must choke the furnace to a dying ember. They must plunge their sanctuary into absolute, freezing darkness to hide from the monsters clawing at the siding.
Trapped in a suffocating nest of furs with no heat source but each other, the line between survival and seduction dissolves. In the pitch black, touch is the only reality. Friction is the only fire. As the house groans under the weight of the dead and the cabin fever sets in, Rook demands a surrender that goes deeper than flesh.
He demands she burn for him.
In the dark, you don't look out. You don't listen to the scratching. You just hold on.
Step into the freezing dark with Shadowlyn Drake's latest installment in the Zombie series. Cold Snap Rising is a high-heat, dark fantasy romance that blends visceral post-apocalyptic horror with scorching erotic tension. Perfect for fans of dystopian survival, gritty magic systems, alpha protectors, and the forced proximity trope taken to its absolute extreme.
