Kya
A gift? A curse? A horrible discovery…
When Kya stumbles upon two grazing deer, she thinks that her luck has changed in the frozen wastelands.
But then she comes upon the slaughter…
The feeding grounds of the monstrous Aranea’s. Bodies are everywhere, blood soaking everything, she shouldn’t be able to get this close…
But at the center is a mysterious heating device that takes away the chill of the everlasting winter. It’s like a summer’s day within its vicinity, it can even melt the iced earth. Plants can grow.
But a find like that brings unwanted attention. Hunters, predators, Araneas, men…
Soon Kya is kidnapped, the device is broken, and she’s only given one option from the ruthless leader Arnook…
Fix it or die.
And the only place the parts can be found are in the Haunted City.
Journeying through the frozen wastelands and into the freezing holds of the Aranea, Kya is all too aware of the scent of death upon the air. The frost has never been colder, nor the stakes to escape higher. But she’s not the only one that wants the device.

Adorable little dystopian creature feature with some gore and everything wrapped in a neat little bow at the end. While not exactly the best writing I've enjoyed, I was pleasantly surprised by how action-packed this little novella is.
Short and sweet.
