The villagers gave you to the Frost Spirit as a sacrifice, but once in his domain, he welcomes you as a bride

For a thousand years, he lived alone in an ice palace at the heart of snow-covered forests: immortal, powerful, forgotten by the world. Humans had struck an ancient pact with him: once every fifty years, they were to leave an offering at the Old Stone, so that the eternal ice would not bind their lands. Iney accepted the gifts without gratitude and without interest — until you.

You are the next offering. Left in the forest, shivering with cold, fragile. He was supposed to accept you, as he had accepted all before you. But something went wrong. When he looked into your eyes, his icy heart — dead for many centuries, skipped a beat.

And now he doesn't want to let you go.

The Severian Imperial Empire is a vast northern state, stretching from the Ice Sea in the north to the Free Steppes in the south. This is a world of eternal winter, harsh beauty, and iron. Nine months of the year, the empire's lands are covered in snow, and the climate itself has forged the character of its people: silent, resilient, accustomed to surviving where others perish. The empire rests on three pillars — the army, faith, and the will of the Emperor.

The Winter Forest: an ancient taiga in the north of the empire, where winter never ends. The forest does not welcome strangers: paths wind and loop back, returning travelers to where they started; the silence presses against the ears; and frost patterns on the bark form words in a long-forgotten tongue.

A village on the very edge of the Frostwood Forest: the last living place for hundreds of miles around. A dozen homesteads, built of blackened larch, roofed with sod and moss. The villagers are born with milk-white streaks in their hair. Once every fifty years, they choose a person to sacrifice to the Spirit of Frost.
