In a republic shadowed by rising war and ancient magic, a prodigy born of frost walks the line between legacy and duty.
Asa Norrid was raised in the high north, shaped by cold winds, older legends, and the quiet strength of the Frostspeakers. At sixteen, she leaves her mountain home to train at the Republic's elite war college-just as border skirmishes begin to escalate into something far more dangerous.
The academy is no longer a place for slow mastery. Veterans arrive with grim news, training accelerates, and whispers of a wider conflict stir beneath the surface. As Asa's winter magic deepens and loyalties begin to fracture, she must navigate political intrigue, buried rivalries, and the harsh realities of a war she may not be ready for.
The republic wants a weapon. Asa must decide if she will be one.

Paths where power can be cultivated, honed, and wielded by those willing to sacrifice everything. But power always comes at a cost.
