The snowy empire has ruled for three hundred years, ever since emperor Osiric overthrew the final king of the old kingdom, Illhuric the tyrant. It has ruled with an iron fist, aided by the armies of undead monsters known as Keists, and the perpetual snowstorm that covers the continent. A young girl who calls herself Elean wakes up in a colosseum cell. What she does when she escapes, and what she discovers about herself, will change the course of history. This is my first serious attempt at a novel, so feedback would be appreciated.
