Edrir's snowy mountains are a force only matched by the corruption of its government. For a poor country blacksmith, the idea of facing this government, this Council, is his own personal hell. And yet, life is full of the unexpected.
What's difficult is navigating foreign waters with no sail or compass, no raft with extra room to save him. Things can change overnight.
For an heiress, that's a simple fact. She is used to corruption, to exploitation, to power. It is her lifeblood, bidden or unbidden.
Kaldir, home to the Council, is full of all the nasty, beautiful parts of life. Enter ye who dare. Perhaps a blacksmith? Or a princess?

Some of my writing makes me cringe and what are we here for if not improvement. That being said, this story will change starting today probably and if you're in the middle of it, hopefully I don't confuse details or timelines for you. If you've already read it once and just felt like you had to read it again, maybe it will provide some new enjoyment. Who knows? Maybe I'll actually finish some other stuff I have on here.Complete
