Novel & Cerita A Touch Of Frost Book

There was no fear, no plea for help, and not even a glance in his direction. That look pierced him like a needle, stirring an inexplicable panic. Liam spoke up. "I found this in the alley behind the warehouse." He opened his hand, revealing a small silver bookmark etched with half a frost flower. It was my cherished keepsake. Olive's sobs paused, then grew louder. "That is Eira's favorite bookmark. Something has happened to her."

“I know.” And in that moment, I allowed myself a small measure of calm. Outside, the snow fell heavier, silent, cold. But inside, Frostbite was warm.

The Witch of Fangsight Azaria’s POV The borderland of Frostwood was chillier than I thought. The dead trees were covered with the snow, which looked like frostbitten fingers, and the wind whistled around the bone-like branches, singing songs of ghosts and warnings.
