When Winter Breaks

Winter has never been kind to the mountain village, the place Migan calls home. But they knew how to survive it - until now.

As human cities spread across the south, the fae are forced out of their old lands, drifting north into forests that cannot feed them and villages that cannot spare the grain. They steal food in the night, vanish into the blizzard, and leave nothing behind but empty storehouses and uneasy silence.

And when the autumn caravans of traders and mercenaries arrive, an unfamiliar face accompanies them.

Alira is warm where the mountains are cold, confident where strangers should be cautious, and far too attentive to the chief's daughter.

Migan can't decide if she's grateful for the protection, or wary of the moment it turns into something else.

"Who are you?"

"I am whoever you need me to be."
