The frost-covered waves of the Barents sea broke against the beach made from black glass pebbles. Azure glaciers sparkled in the distance. I stood on the beach, facing the remains of Severny, an un...

Our trio passed under the ruins of the arcane gateway and entered the Alanian tower.

Overseer Kliss wasn’t the only one to notice that I wasn’t clapping.

“Clap, you idiot,” Kovac hissed and kicked my right shin.

Instructor Wiklogg caught onto my non-compliance. ...
