I’ve read a book a few years ago where there are these two countries, one is really cold and one is really hot

The countries are at war, and the people from the hot country have magic while the cold country have good technology

The main character grows up in the hot country and ends up in the cold one, I think because she was conscripted and sent as a spy

Because her body is acclimated to the really hot country she can’t stand the cold and has to use magic to keep herself warm (seem to remember her using her long hair to channel it underneath a wetsuit at some point

Potential Spoilers

The main character ends up falling in love with a soldier from the cold country, and as far as I recall they end up getting shunned by both

I’m fairly certain someone I know would love this book but I can’t find it for the life of me, does it ring any bells for anyone?

    I just copied your post to ChatGPT and it says Frostblood by Elly Blake

      That seems to be the one but I’ve definitely asked it before and it came up with a load of random books

      Was a while ago maybe they’ve improved it since, or maybe it just doesn’t like me lol

      Thanks, exactly what I was looking for

      That said weirdly enough it’s not on my audible account and I’ve definitely listened to it as an audiobook before

        I know what you mean, I actually wasn’t expecting a good response, but I quickly googled it and seemed to fit your description. Anyway, glad you could finally find it! :)
