A REINTRODUCTION —

[[ previous wip intro || spotify playlist || taglist ]]

genre → high fantasy market → young adult status → second draft et cetera → fairytale-inspired ; bonding through crisis ; mayfly-december romance ; trauma as far as the eye can see —

“I’m sorry, Father.” “You’re sorry?” A heavy footfall, next to her—she flinched and scrambled back, and Liev stayed where he was, staring down at her. His face was drawn up in a snarl that belonged to a wolf, not a man. “Do you know what you have done?”

Irina would give her heart and soul to hunt a snow bear. The massive, ancient creatures live near the edge of the world, far from where any mortal man may tread. When she finds evidence of one in the woods, she breaks from her family's hunt to chase after it—but spilling a cub's blood across the snow only makes her a murderer.

Then her brother Fedya is stolen from her by a shadow—a stranger in the dusk—and she can't go home without him.

“The price for a life is a life. You will make a fine replacement, I think.”

The palace at the end of the world has stood empty for hundreds of years. Its only living resident, the vindictive Prince of Always Night, plays host to a court of souls within its glowing walls. He's the farthest thing from an arbiter of justice, but when the scales of magic shift in his mother's favor, he must right them as quickly as possible.

The hunter's younger brother plays the part of the bear. The prince plays the part of the witch, offering Irina her solution: If she completes three tasks, he will return Fedya.

If she fails, she will lose him forever.

She was not the hero of this story; she was only Irina Lievna, and Irina Lievna had to find her brother and get home before they both were trapped in this cursed place for eternity.
