Frost-bound

In a world teetering on the edge of environmental collapse, brilliant scientist Dr. Eleanor Frost launches a desperate gambit: a groundbreaking cryogenic sleep experiment that might give humanity a second chance. Among the carefully selected volunteers is her stepdaughter, Seraphina, a perceptive young woman whose courage and intelligence make her the perfect candidate for this leap into the unknown. But what begins as a scientific endeavor takes a dark turn when Seraphina awakens decades later to find a world transformed by catastrophic climate engineering gone wrong. The landscape is locked in eternal winter, and a tyrannical queen rules with an iron fist, using a mysterious substance called Frostbane to maintain her power and immortality. As Seraphina navigates this harsh new reality, she discovers she's not alone. MIRRA, an advanced AI created by her stepmother, has evolved beyond its original programming and now exists as both guardian and guide. Joining forces with a band of rebels, each possessing unique skills and haunted by their own histories, Seraphina must unravel the truth behind her stepmother's disappearance, the queen's rise to power, and the connection between the cryogenic technology and the Frostbane that holds the land in its icy grip. But time is running out. Other cryogenic subjects remain in suspended animation, their lives hanging in the balance, while the queen's control grows stronger with each passing day. Seraphina must decide what future is worth fighting for—and what she's willing to sacrifice to achieve it.

Bound till eternity

Third person POV Chapter 1: Moonlight and Shadows Diana Black's eyes fluttered open, her heart racing as she gasped for air. She was drenched in sweat, her sheets tangled around her legs. It was just a dream, she told herself, trying to calm her racing thoughts. But the memory of the dream lingered, refusing to be shaken. In the dream, she was running, her feet pounding the earth as she desperately tried to escape. A figure loomed behind her, its presence dark and menacing. Diana's mind replayed the images, her senses still reeling from the fear that had gripped her. Who was the person chasing her? And why did she feel like she was being pulled toward them, despite the terror that filled her heart? As she sat up in bed, her eyes scanning the darkened room, Diana couldn't shake the feeling that the dream was more than just a product of her imagination. It felt like a warning, a message from her subconscious that something was coming, something that would change her life forever. She threw off the covers and got out of bed, padding over to the window to gaze out at the night. The moon cast its silvery glow over the city, illuminating the towering skyscrapers and casting long shadows across the streets. Diana felt a shiver run down her spine as she gazed out at the moonlit landscape. She loved the night, loved the way the shadows seemed to come alive in the darkness. But tonight, the shadows seemed to hold a sinister presence, as if they were watching her, waiting for her to make a move. With a sense of unease, Diana turned away from the window and began to get ready for her shift at the café. She tried to push the dream and its lingering fear to the back of her mind, but she couldn't shake the feeling that something was off, that the night held secrets and dangers that she couldn't even begin to imagine.

As she grabbed her bag and headed out the door, Diana felt a sudden chill run down her spine. She spun around, but there was no one there. The hallway was empty, the only sound the creaking of the old building. Diana's heart was racing as she turned to leave, but her feet felt rooted to the spot. And then, she saw it. A piece of paper on the floor, with a message scrawled in red ink: "They're coming for you." Diana's blood ran cold as she stared at the message, her mind reeling with questions. Who was coming for her? And why?
