Caption That Cover: Lord of the Windstorm Edition

In a recent roundup of books on sale, FairyKat asked very nicely if we could caption one of the covers. I don't see why. Do you? 

 

A blonde guy holding a hand filled with fire against a backdrop of a frozen lake and snowcovered mountains. His other hand is resting at his belt, and also has fire in it, which makes no sense that close to the family jewels. And he's shirtless. Because romance novel cover.

 

The thing I question most is, where did his legs go? Are his legs with this guy's head?!

 

A male torso, and the head has been completely photoshopped off, despite there being plenty of room for it. It just dissolves into grey nothing. And he's shirtless because romance novel cover.

If Lord Fireice's pants are with Stygian's head, that must be a fun party. I hope the bar is being underwritten by Photoshop. (Many MANY thanks to the lovely women at the book club at the Galaxy Bookshop in Sydney for pointing out Mr. Headless to me when I was there.)

So, what IS Mr. Lord of Fire and Ice thinking? Why is he holding his flaming hand next to his crotch? Isn't that rule number one when one can wield fire: no flaming near the family jewels? Time to caption that cover!
