The Empress of Ice has plagued the Illyander Kingdom for generations. From her Glacial Palace in the Frozen March, she strengthens her magic and builds her army comprised of savage ice orcs and men alike. With the addition of her fearsome Shadow Walker assassins, able to traverse the Void, and her Shadow Drakes, the Ice Queen has now become a threat to all of Aronshae. With the rise of adversity so too champions are born from its conflicts. In a remote pass in the World's Edge Mountains lies the town of Snowhaven, renowned home of Illyander's Warrior and Sorcerer Schools. Two young people, twin sisters, who have known its community and family their entire lives befriend a mysterious stranger, who has been alone for as long as he can remember. After strange events touch all their lives, the three find themselves drawn together and embroiled in the Ice Queen's plot to claim the world as her own empire that would mirror the horrors festering in the dark caves below her glacial fortress. As the three youths journey throughout the world of Aronshae on their quest for answers, even more questions are raised as they find out more about each other, themselves and their strange emerging powers.
