Summary
After the ice demon, Astarion, attempts to assassinate a god for his master, he finds himself bound, once again, to yet another deity.
His punishment is to serve the God of Winter for a time unknown to him, and his hours are filled with mundane tasks until the day that the god, Taliesin, invites the demon to spar with him.
Sparring leads to something much more than steel held at one another’s throats, and they must learn to navigate romance with restraint as they fall hopelessly in love. However, all is not perfect, as Astarion must be freed from Cazador's grip before the time on Taliesin's binding curse is up, or he will have to return to the devil — which will not only tear him away from his divine lover, but certainly result in his death.
Taliesin must move carefully to avoid letting the entire winter realm, and perhaps the entire world, fall to ruins for the sake of liberating his beloved.

Summary
These trips used feel like luxury; they used to imbue him with a sense of importance—only the best for Cazador’s most cherished family members, after all. But time and experience has a peculiar way of twisting one’s perceptions: he is not as young and naive as he once was and the bright novelty of it all has long sense worn off; instead, what sits inside of him is a festering sort of acceptance: he is nothing more than Cazador’s most skilled whore.
Routine, predictability: things an assassin can hardly guarantee. But in the Continental, things are never quite as spontaneous as they are on the outside.
