The Whittle's are renowned for their powerful ice casting magic, with women specifically being born with the gift. But Ashton is apparently the odd exception. Some consider it a miracle, while others a bad omen. The council expects Ashton to marry. But he isn't happy about it. Like many other traditions, Ashton doesn't agree with the family's outdated political grasp. He wants out. But his exclusive and strict family is all he's ever known. A life without them is tempting, but seems unattainable due to their powerful influence. Ashton feels at peace when he sneaks into the forest, momentarily escaping the harsh reality of his fate linked to the Whittle name; and it is here that he encounters the mysterious being named Aleron. ⭕ STATUS: ongoing -currently in production 💬 LANGUAGE: Australian English [en-AU] 🔸 WORD COUNT: TBA // Novelette ⚠️ Recommend ages 15+ Contains violence, abuse, and occult depictions.
