In a world locked in endless winter, ranger Erreze tracks the vanished footprints of a missing scout party—his old friend among them. Sent to investigate alongside a brutal captain and the enigmatic artificer Errtimys, Erreze discovers the enemy has already moved north, toward the ancient ruins. With sunlight fading and magic waning, Errtimys calls on the rime—arcane power found only in fresh snow—to summon an army of dolls: smooth, silent warriors sculpted in her image. But time is short, the snow grows thin, and their enemies are not the only threat. As old alliances fray and the cold deepens, the real war may lie not on the battlefield—but in the hearts of those still clinging to what remains.
