The world that eats it's children

The Frost has taken everything from the world. It has taken the land, the warmth, the mercy of death itself.

In Harrow-Bank, a starving village at the edge of the frozen wastes, Orin cannot die. He can only suffer—through hunger, through cold, through the slow breaking of his body. When government workers with terrible blessings arrive to purge the settlement, Orin survives the massacre that kills his mother and sister. He survives the collapse of his home, the severing of his flesh, the absolute cold that should grant him oblivion.

But survival is not salvation. It is a cage.

Orin vows revenge against those who destroyed his village. Yet as he follows the military road south, he begins to uncover the truth beneath the Frost—a wound in the world itself, and a reason for his immortality that transforms his hunger for vengeance into something far more terrible: the knowledge that some suffering has no meaning, and some losses can never be avenged.

In a world without mercy, there is only the choice to endure.
