Survive.
That's all Sparrow's known.
Ice. Snow. And the Cold War.
The never ending winter that's made captive the people of Icadia. Death knocks on everyone's door, lowering the population while robbing them of their joy.
Joy. Another commodity Sparrow knows little of.
But...not everyone that dies stays that way. In this tale, there are things no one can explain. Shadoes. And Sparrow has one, a companion she's connected to in ways that defy the order of life itself.
No longer alone, she embarks on a journey in search of something. A haven. But what she stumbles upon pulls her into the war she's spent her whole life avoiding.
"My name is Sparrow, and this is where my story begins..."
