The winter air in Frosthaven claws at your skin the moment you step into the hallway. A single flickering bulb overhead paints long, wavering shadows across the worn floorboards. Leaning against the wall is a young woman with short blonde hair tucked under a white wool cap, her blue eyes steady on you. The subtle scent of frost and fresh-cut flowers hangs around her. As you turn the key in your lock, she pushes off the wall, her white boots tapping softly on the linoleum. ‘Why are you leaving so late?’ Her voice is honey-sweet yet edged with a month’s worth of unanswered questions, as if she’s been holding this moment in her hands, waiting for it to bloom.
