143 - The Battle of Basilea I: The Host of Winter
Even the Etalan legions feared to push north through the mountains of Raetia. It is a harsh land, with little there to eat - at least, little for any mortal.

Chapter 67: Adamant Ice
After Emma’s wedding, Liv once again found herself feeling very alone. The one friend she had in Whitehill, who had been something approaching her own age in spirit, if not in years, had now begun an adventure that left the two women with less and less in com...

Learning to make adamant ice, as her father called it, proved to be an exercise in frustration for Liv. She had been warned that learning new words of power wouldn’t come as easily to her as Cel had, ever since that day on the frozen river. Now, she ...

For all that Liv’s father had promised not to be gone long, and to hurry back to Whitehill, the first truly heavy snow of winter arrived before Valtteri Ka Auris did. Three days after she and Duchess Julianne had made their trip to the bank...

Liv tumbled, bodiless, west into the mountains that enclosed the Aspen Valley on all sides. Flecks of snow escorted her for a moment, then were left behind to whirl in the wake of her passage, and the wind that carried her gusted north into the lands of the Eld. 2025-01-07 20:51:55 +0000 UTC View Post
For those wondering, the buck is inspired by Irish Elk, which are extinct. You may recognize what Valtteri is doing at the end from chapter 13.

141 - The Winter Queen
We do not honor the ghūls who haunt the Maghreb with titles such as king or queen - but then, the Narvonnians once worshiped the monster, and burned sacrifices to them in cages of wicker.

Two quick notes! This is about the timing of when I can get home and upload on Patreon with all the files, on a work day.
Note two is a very minor trigger warning. Nothing graphic, but there is some reference to HOW the Eld got Vaedic blood, and it's about what you'd expect from a relat...

Liv was hardly aware of being carried away through the city. Her head hurt from the chunk of ice that had fallen on her, and she felt untethered, as if she might pass out at any moment. Her father held her cradled in her arms, and she thought of little more t...

Privately, Liv had always thought that much of the physical exercise she’d been put through, by the castle guards at Whitehill, had been a waste of time. She was never going to be strong enough to wrestle a soldier to the ground, and she had no intention of wearing around jack of plate an...
