SPLINTERRelease Date: September 1, 2026
A dark, omegaverse retelling of The Snow Queen. She set out to rescue the man she loved. She never expected another Alpha to change what love could be. For two years, Sable has waited to choose Garren—the blacksmith's son who has loved her long before the world learned she was an Omega. When he disappears on the eve of her Choosing, she knows he didn't abandon her. Someone took him. The only person willing to help her cross into the frozen realm of the Snow Queen is Cayden, the Tower's disciplined captain and the Alpha whose presence awakens a bond Sable refuses to acknowledge. He could claim her by instinct. Instead, he gives her something far rarer. A choice. Deep within the Winter Court, Sable finds Garren alive—but transformed. The shy blacksmith she remembers has become the Snow Queen's favored consort, seduced by the power and purpose he never believed he deserved. To save him, Sable must convince him that he was always enough. But the closer she grows to Cayden, the more impossible everything becomes. Because loving one Alpha no longer means she cannot love the other. As the Snow Queen moves to bind Garren forever, Sable, Garren, and Cayden must confront the lies that have ruled their lives—that love must be earned, that worth must be proven, and that every heart can belong to only one person. If they cannot choose each other freely, Winter will claim them all ✨ Why choose | fated mates (rejected) | Snow Queen retelling | dark fantasy romance |
