Novel & Cerita Winter Books

He needed to see his father dead. His steps grew heavier, his form rigid, as he approached the shadowy edges of the witch village. Here, in the thick of the enchanted forest, trees whispered secrets older than time itself, their branches glistening as if dusted with crystal snowflakes. The frozen lake lay beneath the stars, its surface like a mirror made of pure diamond, glinting in the night’s eerie silence. A lone silver eagle circled above, its haunting cry a reminder of the isolation that Asshole felt, an endless winter that matched the cold in his heart.

At dinner, my mom hit me with, "Tristan, why didn't you bring Chloe along? "We're not getting any younger, and you guys live so far away. Who knows how many more times we'll get to see Chloe?" I felt a lump in my throat and just kept my head down, focusing on my food to keep the tears at bay. "Mom, Chloe is off traveling with Sheila. We'll bring her by to see you guys for New Year's." No sooner had I said that than my phone started buzzing. It was Sheila. I stepped outside to take the call.

He left the room. A fierce winter covered the forests with heavy snow-clusters and icicles, and filled ravines to their edges with drifts, so that the whole land seemed a single white plain. Great, sudden storms came, in which men and herds were lost under the pall of snow; roads grew misleading and perilous. A lonely Jaweldur howled in the distance.

The snow fell in relentless sheets across Elden Hollow, blanketing the village in a hush that felt almost sacred. Streetlights glowed like dim halos, and the last Christmas decorations—wilted wreaths and sagging strings of lights—hung from porches like forgotten promises. Most families had retreated indoors days ago, sealing themselves against the cold with wood fires, mulled wine, and the quiet comfort of routine. But for Liora Voss, the storm was not a barrier. It was an invitation.

Not the kind you dress for, but the kind that seeps through your skin and makes a home in your chest like frostbite. Winter is here in its fullest, cruelest form. The trees are nothing more than skeletal outlines, their branches stretched toward the gray sky like twisted hands pleading for mercy from the never ending chill. Not a single leaf clings to them anymore. Instead, the ground is a blanket of brittle decay with leaves long dead and forgotten, piled in thick drifts along a narrow, winding path that seems to lead nowhere.

The Northern Mountains rose like jagged teeth against the gray sky, their peaks swallowed by clouds heavy with snow. Samuel’s pack trudged through the frozen wasteland, breath steaming in the bitter wind, each step sinking into the crusted ice. The city below had been left behind, burning in chaos and revolt, but the danger had followed them. The humans had not forgotten, nor forgiven, and now they wielded their most lethal weapon yet—a "Nuclear Winter" device designed to turn their world into a tomb of frost.

Martina's POV " War ? In winter?" I shouted aggressively sitting down on my throne. While Loren sat beside me and tried to calm me down because I was fucking irritated. War in winter is always harsh on werewolves. Now that I think of it, king Alexander Volkov was waiting for winter to arrive so that he can have a chance to defeat the werewolves. Winter can last for five years, and vampires are okay with winter. In summer their skin burn and they can't afford to walk out of their coven's houses. Even the king Alexander Volkov hides all five years of summer in his dark palace.

The city moved at a gentler pace. People bundled in coats hurried through streets. Children built imperfect snowmen. Cars crawled cautiously through intersections. Life continued. Beautifully ordinary. Later that afternoon, Ama found herself walking home alone. Fresh snow crunched beneath her boots. The air carried that unique winter stillness. Not silence. A quieter version of the world. She passed a bookstore. Then stopped. A display window had caught her attention. New releases. Classic novels. Poetry collections. Stories. So many stories. Each one beginning with a choice.

Tomorrow I’d need to go into town and figure out who to talk to about getting some firewood delivered. It’d be good to get a decent stock purchased before it really started to get cold—the last thing I wanted was to have to go out into the woods in the middle of winter to scrounge up fallen branches I could burn for warmth. I doubted that Grandma left me this place with the hopes that I’d freeze to death on my first winter. Taking a moment to sit in front of the fire and enjoy the warmth that I created, I ran my fingers through Stallone’s soft fur, watching the embers dance behind the glass.

I stand and walk away, my mood improving after the feel of his lips on mine. ***** The Winter Dance comes every year after classes are over.
