Beneath The Shattered Ice

In the small, snow-laden town of Pine Hollow, twelve-year-old Ethan Barker is a curious boy with a penchant for adventure. He loves exploring the frozen lake near his home, where tales of ancient winter spirits and mythical creatures circulate among the children. On a chilly winter evening, while shrugging off the mundane for an adventure, Ethan and his friends venture onto the ice, daring each other to explore the farthest reaches. However, disaster strikes as the ice beneath Ethan unexpectedly cracks, plunging him into the frigid depths below.

Instead of a watery grave, Ethan finds himself in an extraordinary realm known as Glacialis, a magical world perpetually covered in snow and ice, where mythical creatures roam and magic flows as freely as the rivers. In Glacialis, the seasons hold power: the vicious Frost Wraiths, embodying winter's fury, wage war against the cheerful Emberkin, who represent the vibrant spirit of summer. Each faction is vying to control the balance of the realm, and Ethan is caught in the crossfire.

With the help of Mira, a brave Emberkin girl, and Flint, a mischievous Frost Wraith, Ethan learns that he is not merely an intruder in Glacialis; he holds a unique power linked to both factions. To return home, he must navigate a labyrinth of ancient prophecies, make unlikely alliances, and uncover the secrets that bind his world to this winter-touched fantasy. Along the way, Ethan must confront his own fears and insecurities, ultimately discovering the true meaning of bravery, friendship, and sacrifice.
