A harsh winter has always been a challenge--the snow melts and the earth springs to life again. But a never-ending blizzard that has ravaged the land for months on end with no sign of stopping? It's a whole different story--a story that has unknowingly wrought havoc to an unlikely band of three friends residing together in an abandoned hunter's lodge on the outskirts of the Kingdom of Avaria. Elios Woods unwillingly volunteers to venture out into the frozen wasteland to discover what has happened to the Avarian citizens. Contact was cut at the start of the blizzard. Their food supplies ran out, leaving the three to play a game to decide who leaves--and Elios chose the short end of the stick. Armed with merely a rusted hunting knife and a lantern, Elios leaves the comfort of the lodge and begins his pilgrimage to Avaria. But what he finds is something more than what he'd bargained for.
