Winter's Curse

Who but a fool would linger after Zavrien laid his curse?  Ill luck can kill -- and all the more in Zavrien's enchanted, endless winter, haunted with ice giants and frost fairies.

When the soldier Gareth is cursed, the young wizard Perriel learns how dangerous lingering can be.  

But she can hold out a sliver of hope for breaking the curse -- if it doesn't break them first.
