In the Republic of Atan, magic is a birthright—and a death sentence.
For centuries, Atan has been the world’s undisputed superpower, fueled by a genetic anomaly: women outnumber men eight to one, and female mages outnumber males fourteen to one. Liam Deluge is one of the rare few—a male Mage born into a life of mandated service and biological scrutiny. But on the day he was meant to surrender his freedom to the state, the world broke.
A desperate coalition of rival nations unleashed a dual-pronged biological and climate attack, intending to sterilize the Atanian men and cripple their power. Instead, they triggered a global cataclysm. A plague swept the globe, killing nearly every male on Earth, while the atmosphere fractured, plunging the world into a permanent, suffocating Ice Age.
Now, humanity is starving, freezing, and dying out. The survivors have realized that Liam and a handful of others like him are the only key to repopulating the species. To the crumbling governments, he is no longer a man—he is a national resource.
But Liam refuses to be a captive sire for a world that tried to erase him. As he flees into the frozen wastes, his hunters expect to face a mutated Fire Mage. They couldn't be more wrong.
Liam’s power hasn't just mutated; it has inverted. He doesn't wield the flame—he commands the Absolute Zero. In a world already buried in snow, Liam is the coldest thing alive. He doesn't just create ice; he steals the very heat from his enemies' blood, leaving nothing but brittle statues in his wake.
They are many. They are desperate. And they are coming for him.But in the heart of the eternal winter, the hunter is about to become the harvest.
