Synopsis
When Idrish is accused of killing an elven royal, the female hunter is forced to enter the winter arena in the king's favor. But as a commoner of Springgan, a country with a bloody history of slavery and hierarchy, can she protect the ones she loves when she can barely protect herself? *** What happens when an elf is in possession of a power that's beyond one's social standing? Idrish Aeric is living at the bottom of Springgan's strict hierarchy, barely able to scrape a living for her younger siblings through hunting and foraging. Her simple life is turned upside down when she receives a legacy from a royal elf and she has to run to protect her family. In order to escape death, she's forced to enter the elven royal family through marriage and join the winter arena in the king's favor. But in a world ruled by power and slavery, is Idrish ready to step up her game to change the system--or will she wind up dead before the requiem of the winter plays?

Chapter 1 - Winter's Requiem

Under the mourning pine tree let me be laid.

Come, oh cold death let me be swayed.

As the lonely white snow dissolves the heat.

My life shall fly away as it takes my breath.

My life, my honor, and dignity be slain.

Let my royal armour be torn and stained.

My life's a feat though I've tasted defeat.

I have fought so true as my heart beats.

Go away memory, go away, go away!

Leave with my soul as my body falls in the hay.

Let there be strown on my lonely grave.

Honor me as a friend, a warrior so brave.

Tis, my last words shall be brought forth.

As the deadly solstice forest embraces my fate.

Remember me. Remember me, with or without grace!
