THE SNOW KING is an urban fantasy romance novella, inspired by Celtic folklore, set near winter solstice.
One unexpectedly snowy day, struggling artist Gwen finds a strange man asleep in a hidden cave. Intrigued, she accidentally wakes him up, unknowingly letting loose an ancient being in the modern world.
After he loses the fight against his nemesis, Edur is subjected to a century-long sleep. When he wakes up, he must rely on Gwen's reluctant help in order to get used to the modern lifestyle, while he works towards his goal to bring eternal winter and keep his powers throughout the year.
Gwen doesn't need this complication in her life. Babysitting an ancient being with strange powers is not how she imagined spending her time preparing for Christmas. Even though Edur's arrogance drives her crazy and his powers often frighten her, his child-like wonder at the world stirs her caring instincts. Edur, who has never bothered learning about humans, finds himself becoming more interested in how Gwen's world works and uses her resources to plot the demise of his arch-enemy. Gwen is set on changing his mind.

Called by the Duke of North
Zoele Chamberwood had found Christmas to be just a few awful days to pass in the year. Her memories of spending those days in peace and happiness were so blurry that they hid themselves deep in her head. And so, while doing the Christmas shopping for her friends, which she took for an annoying errand, she suddenly found herself laying in a heap of beautiful pure white snow. Damian Calbea's lands had been suffering from long days of frost and cold, his people suffering as the food provisions from the emperor had been becoming more scarce. The time when monsters invaded the Northern lands was coming closer and he needed a miracle. So he turned to the ancient magic. With the help of one of the last surviving Northern magicians he gave offerings to the magical circle and prayed. He prayed for a miracle to come to the lands, to save him and the people. "Who are you?" A man with a cold bite in his voice asked. "W-What do you mean, who I am? Who are YOU? Look at... What... Wolf, person, WHERE..." "Just give me your name." He was growing impatient, so I answered. "Zoele Chamberwood." "Chamberwood? Does she put the wood in the hearths? Who could ever think of such a name?!" Another man that came with him was laughing. "QUIET." The chilly retort made the other man shut up and walk a few steps away from us. "Zoele, what are you doing here?" He carefully asked, warming up the coldness just a tiny bit. "Here? Where is here?"
