About Bearly Wraithbound Hearts in Love - A Fantasy Romance of Ice Magic, Shifter Bonds, Forbidden Love, and Epic Adventure in a Frozen Realm
The Frostveil was not always a land of ice and silence. A thousand years ago, its plains bloomed with silver grasses that danced beneath a sky of endless auroras, and its forests of crystal sang with the voices of the ice-wraiths-ancient spirits who wove magic into the bones of the world. They were neither god nor beast, but something older, their essence bound to the frost that glittered on every blade and bough. The clans of the Frostveil-Wolfkin, Ravenkin, Leopardkin-knelt before them, offering rituals of blood and song to earn their gifts: the power to shift into beasts, to wield ice as a blade, or to hear the wraiths' whispers. In those days, the Frostveil was alive, and its heart beat with the pulse of the wraiths. But hearts, even those of spirits, can be broken. The sorcerer Eryndor was the first to betray that bond. A Ravenkin with eyes like chipped obsidian, he hungered not for harmony but for dominion. The wraiths' gifts were not enough; he sought to chain their essence, to make their power his own. In the shadow of the Crystal Peaks, where the oldest wraith slept within a shrine of frozen starlight, Eryndor wove a spell of binding. Runes of ice and blood flared across the snow, and the wraith's scream tore through the Frostveil like a gale. The sky darkened, and the First Wraithstorm was born. Snow fell not in flakes but in shards, sharp as glass, burying villages and forests alike. The auroras vanished, replaced by a gray veil that choked the stars. Half the Frostveil became a wasteland of eternal ice, its grasses entombed, its songs silenced. Eryndor's body was never found, but the wraiths' trust was shattered. The clans learned a bitter truth: to wield the wraiths' power was to court their wrath. The survivors swore oaths to honor the spirits, to never again seek to bind them. But oaths are fragile things, and memory fades like frost under the sun.
