In the land of Frawst, special snowflakes are a gift from the gods, capable of transferring the knowledge of the Ancients. A young woman searches the skies with breathless anticipation for her snowflake, but finds something far more dark and dangerous instead.
Leannla has been waiting all her life for a special snow storm.
The storm doesn’t come for many years. This snow storm is the only one that will determine who will be chosen to be given the wisdom of the ancients.
Leannla feels that she deserves to be chosen. She is young and very beautiful, and if she is chosen she will be given immortality.
She watches as those whom she considers to be unworthy are chosen by the gods. They have received a special snow flake and are given wisdom and immortality.
