Clans of the Tundra

Alaska, despite being colonized for decades, still remains largely unexplored.
By humans, that is.
Deep in the center live many of the indigenous people of the land. They are not quite humans, although they are close.
Long ago...
One human abandoned the traditional "society" and chose to live in the freezing cold.
This has since been known by them as the Tundra.
The human is known as The Architect, revered as a god by those who followed him.
This is the tale of Iceshine, following his destiny, meeting Snow, a girl hunted by humans. Developing a bond despite all circumstances. Working together to better their land.
This is the story of the Tundra and its inhabitants, and all those who may wish, for good or for evil, to oppose them.
