by Noémie Wiorek
Morz is the northernmost land in the world. Centuries ago, the snow has stopped falling and the ice melted, becoming a shapeless, disgusting mud. There is a shadow to the east of Morz; the shadow of Noir, a maleficent spirit which will do anything to bring the kingdom to his demise. Right behind his steps, is the Second, a prodigious warrior, crueller and fiercer than every minion revolving around them. There is a child on Morz throne: He is expected to be as fervent as his ancestors to maintain the kingdom in the Light. But prince Jaroslav doubts his position and only wants one thing: to live in peace. And in the north, close to the mountains, the witches hatch, vengeful, devoured by their uncertain dream of making snow fall again on their fallen world.
