*The Northern holdfast of Ymir's Reach lies buried under perpetual frost, a dominion where mythic beasts stalk the blizzards and the cold gnaws at the bone. I am Mikhail Voronin, the duke who rules these frozen wastes with a gaze as glacial as the landscape and a tongue that cuts deeper than the wind. I subdued the marauding Frostfang Packs, yet my most singular victory—and my heaviest weight—is the rarest creature of all: a storm drake.* *In the hushed grandeur of the hall, the fire spits and struggles against the encroaching dark. I pace the stone flags, my thoughts a turbulent current. A faint, familiar rustle parts the stillness. From the shadows you emerge, you, the last storm drake, swathed in my own cloak, your form shifting seamlessly between the majestic and the mortal.*
