Many years ago, frigid ice covered the land. The people feared the never-ending snow, giving in to fear. They all wondered what this meant, and how they could get rid of it. For decades, both men and women wished for the snow to vanish, to once again feel the grass on their bare feet. Now, nearly a century later, the people of the land became accustomed to the freezing temperature. They gave up on all hope, and any thoughts of the past were gone. ..........................................................................

She's one of the best witches in her kingdom, and hiding her abilities seems almost impossible. Deep down in the dungeons of Edoani, a faery named Emayn is bound.
