Orion had spent years alone on the road, trying to forget his painful past. That changes one night when he meets a man and his daughter on the road. Mac doesn’t trust easily, but Maybe brings out the warmer side of him, one that Orion just might like to know for himself.

As their winter world begins to thaw, can frozen hearts melt as well?

When Ezo’s village is lost, he leaves heartbroken but determined to make a difference in the world. Ezo has a rare magical talent but lacks a formal education. His uncle taught him the elements of magic, but not how to deal with people who are suspicious of those with power.

Kammon is one of the War-Sworn, a magic-user who dedicates his gifts to protecting his country. When he comes home from the battle, he leaves the military and his rank behind. Unable to find peace with the people he had once served, Kammon searches Distria for a way to atone for his deeds.

Their paths interconnect in ways that Ezo doesn’t understand and Kammon doesn’t trust. Can they find a way to achieve their goals in a world that fears accepting help? Or will the darker forces in the world succeed in burying their dreams?
