book four of the shifter series once, long ago, there was a time when souls and their shift were two different entities. there was no such thing as a wolf that could transform into an elf, or a bird that could shift into a cat. There were only siblings of the soul. one part of the soul was the elf, and the other part, the soul its' self. the animal form. there was a time when the sacred tree of mothers did not exist, and the goddess we know now was just a mere royal. A royal of the great castle of glass. there was a time that a child was born of the gods, and he was the son of the royal Nina Sapphire, the great goddess of the land of the sky. there was a time that Ria of the iceland known as arya was Ria of the land. This is their story. This is the decree of the elves. the shifters. if you dont want to read their individual stories, read this one. it basicly recaps all their stories into one.

ice gliders are Aryans who maneuver the land of the ice, they are messengers between the clans, and protectors of the clans. We are taken from our parents when we arethree years old. gliders feel most at peace within our element, the isolation the vast in between land of the clans of the land of arya. compared to times of the old, few gliders of the ice remain, and we are greatly respected. According to our beliefs, people of one sect should not marry another, as in, an ice glider should not marry a hunter, or a future healer, but it is not a mandatory thing. The people of the clans of Arya can marry who they want. Everybody but the heirs to the clans. I am one of those few who must marry within my sect. I am reina f the snow, or she who runs with the ice. the greatest of the iice gliders.

I am Bastialus Vine fur, and this is my story. listen well for i will only tell it once.

The parent version of she who runs with the ice. It is a tale set in the land of Aria, A land of ice, and of spirits, and of beliefs that could kill off an entire clan. It is a tale of the rise of the gliders, a clan that was set to protect the others, and their fall.
