Summary
The Black Hills. A land warped beyond recognition by magic, scorched by old wars, tainted by the blood of monsters and tyrants. Mothers would tell their children cautionary tales of the creatures and ghosts that prowled the lands, but no story struck fear into the heart of an ordinary civilian more than his. That wretched wasteland was rumoured to be haunted by a sorcerer with lead in his bones and metal stitched into his skin. The people feared him. They whispered his title less like a name and more like a curse: The Winter Soldier.
No one knew where he came from. Unlike his title, he belonged to no country’s army and served no one but himself. He was one of the only talented dual sorcerers on the continent. His reputation painted him as a mysterious and reclusive madman, alone in his stone-walled castle deep within the Black Hills. Some claimed he had hands of steel, others swore he had death carved into his neck. But one, singular detail was constant. Everyone knew the sorcerer had eyes of ice.
But one night, a short, blonde-haired stranger showed up at those cursed castle doors, with nothing but the poorly-sized clothes on his back and a small messenger bag of belongings. And it changed everything.
