Cool fall winds whirl across the sloping mountainside and fill my lungs as I stride away from the Ice Palace a free woman. I did it. I made it out. I will never have to go back to that suffocating castle again. Never have to wear that awful iron collar again. Never have to kneel at Draven’s feet or watch the Icehearts smirk at me. I’m free. And now, it’s time to fight back.
