Silvermist Evermore never belonged. Born to unloving parents and cast aside, she had long accepted that life would never offer her warmth—until she was chosen as an apprentice at Moonstone Academy, a place where magic breathes and fate is written in the stars.

But her arrival comes with a price. In an act of betrayal and manipulation, Silvermist shatters Frost's staff, the formidable Winter Guardian, unraveling a secret that should have remained buried.

 Now, bound by an ancient rule, she must take its place—not as a mere apprentice, but as something far more dangerous: Frost’s human staff, the living embodiment of his power.

As Silvermist struggles to navigate the treacherous halls of Moonstone, she discovers that Guardians without apprentices are doomed to vanish, and the balance of the four seasons—Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter—hangs by a thread. But the shadows whisper a greater truth: a war looms on the horizon, fueled by the Sandman’s wrath and a hidden enemy who has been pulling the strings all along.

Haunted by cryptic dreams, hunted by those who seek to use her, and betrayed by those she once trusted, Silvermist must uncover the truth behind her own existence before she loses herself to the very storm she was forced to wield.

Can she survive the weight of Winter, or will she be the final snowfall that buries them all?

"I commend the idea, but ADELINE, WHAT THE HELLLLL!" Silvermist shrieked, pinballing from one side of the water sphere to the other, her limbs flailing like a ragd in a washing machine.

"Shit... Shit!" She cursed, wincing when her wounds stung.

Mila, Adeline, Sebastian, West, and Ezekiel had been completely still just a moment ago—well, supposedly. But since Silvermist had decided to rack the entire sphere like an unhinged poltergeist, the whole thing started sloshing unpredictably.

Adeline, who had been proudly controlling the waterball to make their grand escape, was now sweating bullets trying to keep it remotely stable.

"Stay still, you menace!" she snapped, straining her hands to maintain the shape of the sphere.

"HOW CAN I STAY STILL? WE'RE IN A GIANT WATER BALLOON!" Silvermist screeched, slamming against Sebastian, who let out a choked "Mfghh!!" as her knee jabbed into his gut.
