Fyra has always known that her town is cursed. Harvests fail, accidents cause injuries, and magic swirls through the streets, bringing chaos with it. This is all the fault of the Magician. He is one of the Blessed, magic from birth--and his Blessing is the ability to cast curses. Every year, those in the town who are discovered to be Blessed are sent to defeat him. None have yet returned.
Fyra is one of the Blessed. She has the power to communicate with deathbirds--scavengers who have the uncanny ability to sense death's approach. Though she tries to hide what she is, the villagers discover her Blessing, and send her off with three other Blessed to defeat the Magician. But the journey ahead of her and her companions is difficult. Will they choose to turn aside? Will they succeed in their quest? Or will they be killed by the Magician, like so many others before them?

Eternal Winter by blushing_elephants

Waking up, alone in the cold and surrounded by snow with no memories of how she got there or who she even is, was not how Lyra would have wished to start her new life. Only by the guidance of the man who found her, the man who became her teacher in both life and magic, was she able to find comfort and meaning. But just when she begins to accept her new life, even amidst the ominous, never-ending snowfall, she is forced on the run. As she hunts down the very person who started it all--and sentenced her new beginning to death--she finds missing pieces of her past. Although, it's a past she wishes she never remembered, because, maybe then, she would have been able to live without guilt...or fear.

I can't love you...you'll die because of me," she sobbed, her voice trembling as she burried her face in her hands, trying to hide the tears.

"Don't push me away, because the only way i'd ever die is if you tell me you don't love me."

When Veia Phelde is cursed, she hardly expects the ruin it will invoke, but will breaking the curse come at a cost more than its worth in blood? +++ Veia Phelde had been satisfied with her life in her small cottage in the woods, never bothering anyone save for her job as a blacksmith's apprentice. But when she loses her job, Veia is forced out of her comfort zone only to run into a simple book that means so much more than she wants it to. With blank white pages and a title carved by knife, the single word that scars the leather can only be the work of fate, and the danger it contains... well, let's just say that's fate, too.
