Snow and Blood

Emperor Kasheen is enraged when one of his Crystal fleet is taken by pirates. Tika of Iskallia traces them to a settlement hidden in the land of snow in the far north of Drogoya. She is amazed to find people living in such harsh conditions. She also discovers a man of strange talents quite unlike her own powers. Other lands are in turmoil, including Vagrantia, Strale and Gaharn. Somehow it falls to her to try to settle things down once more.
