These warriors have been working towards getting back Winter’s magic and freeing its people. Amongst these warriors is Meira who was orphaned during the war. She’s been training to be a warrior alongside the young King of Winter, Mather. Meira is determined to help her country, so when scouts discover the location of Winter’s magic conduit, she decides to retrieve it herself. But the mission doesn’t go as planned, and Meira finds herself in a world of politics and evil magic. She’ll have to find the strength to save Winter.

This came from Afshan. Were at all good at properly expressing opinions about complicated art, I’d be able to say more than WOW LOOK AT THIS. So much going on! The snow and the sky and the trees and the birds — chaotic yet somehow soothing. So, SO cool!
