Cold Magic

Cat Barahal, a survivor of a devastating flood that claimed her parents, lives a seemingly ordinary life with her cousin, Bee, under the watchful eye of their extended family. Yet, in a world poised on the brink of an Industrial Age, ancient magic still holds potent sway, particularly that of the feared Cold Mages. Unbeknownst to them, the mythical Wild Hunt stirs, and dragons, long dormant, begin to awaken, foreshadowing a perilous shift in power. Betrayed by her own kin, Cat is forcibly betrothed to a formidable Cold Mage, plunging her into a complex and dangerous labyrinth of political machinations and ruthless magical power plays. As she navigates this treacherous new reality, Cat must uncover the true motives of the Cold Mages and find allies in a world where survival often depends on wit and a touch of forbidden magic.
