The Universe

A world of ice and prophecy

Control of the Crystal Spirit is the key to immense power in the universe.

Chapter I

The frozen planet Vale

A world of extreme cold and endless snowfields, governed by whichever family the Empire sends.

Chapter II

Crystal Spirit

Vale's unique substance enables mind expansion and space travel, and unlocks abilities beyond normal consciousness — deeper intuition and paranormal senses.

Chapter III

The Esko clan

Transferred to rule Vale, the Eskos immediately face machinations and conspiracies tied to the larger battle for the empire's power.

Chapter IV

The Orphans clan

The Eskos' rivals launch a treacherous attack, forcing Talen and his mother Selena to flee into the snowy wilderness.

Chapter V

Coldlight

Sheltered by the wanderers of Vale, Talen and Salla become prophetic leaders, adopt the name Coldlight and lead the resistance against the Morrans — and ultimately the Snow Emperor.
