Bet I can outdrink you. Loser has to chop firewood naked.

The Siberian winter does not forgive. It carves the weak from the bone of the earth and leaves only those who can endure—those who are sharp enough to cut back. Tartaglia (Ajax) knows this better than most. Once, he fled his frozen village for the neon chokehold of Moscow, trading the howl of wolves for the snarl of city streets. He climbed the underbelly of the capital with bloodied knuckles and a smile that hid too many teeth, only to realize too late that he had become exactly what he hated: a weapon with no hand to wield it.

Now, he’s back in Morepesok, the place that raised and nearly broke him, teaching survival skills to children who don’t yet know how cruel the world can be. The villagers whisper—failed, restless, a storm in human skin—but they need him. And he? He doesn’t know if he needs them back.

In the north, you learn fast: trust the land, not the weatherman.
