Meet Tama, an adept winter mage of
Khione, a beautiful, dangerous land. Bloodthirsty monsters roam the frozen
wilderness, and the unforgiving elements are a constant. Tama and her
friends—Kachina and Masou—are on the cusp of completing their education at the
temple where they have trained for the past four years. They need only to do
one more thing: earn the Goddess Tira’s final anointing. But to do that, they
must fight through hordes of corrupted creatures and endure the perplexing
obstacles within Mount Orodani.
The road before them is long and bloody, and Tira’s evil sister, Malsumi, won’t
stop sending her minions until she is strong enough to break free of her
prison. Tama fights valiantly to defend herself and her people from these
twisted monsters. But she will soon discover the real threat is much closer
than she initially thought…

Excerpt 1:
The following is an excerpt from
Temple of Ice
“Begin!” said the headmaster.
Tama had barely raised her fists before Hakan unleashed a
barrage of kicks at her. She ducked and evaded each blow, the air grazing
the top of her head. She blocked a roundhouse kick with a raised leg and
slipped a cross punch. Immediately, she pounded his ribs with an uppercut, then
grabbed his shoulders and drove her knee into Hakan’s sternum. He grunted
and staggered backward right before a conjured gust of wind hurled him to
his back.
The students cheered.
Hakan drew his knees up to his shoulders and sprang to his
feet. He lifted the back of his hand upwards, then drew both fists to his
hip.
A deluge of water surged out of the corner of Tama’s eye and
curled around her body. She only had time to gasp as the tushka punched
his fists forward, blasting her with the water. Tama collapsed with a
grunt, her clothing drenched. Even as she stood up, the water rose with her in
wavering tentacles. Like a myriad of whips, they cracked against her skin
from every angle. Tama winced and groaned.
“Come on, Tama! You can do it,” Kachina called from the
sidelines.
She froze the liquid tentacles and summoned a wheel of air.
Chunks of ice floated up on either side of her as she accelerated toward
Hakan.
The tushka dove out of the way as she sped past him
but wasn’t quick enough to dodge the debris that struck him in the
back.
Tama circled around him, hurling ice in a rapid-fire
staccato.
The students in the other classes murmured among themselves.
Hakan ducked and twirled over the arena as debris whizzed
past him. He caught two chunks of ice, which he formed into arm shields
and smashed through the remainder of her barrage. Tama was conjuring more ice
when Hakan hurled one of his shields and struck her in the stomach. She
lurched forward and groaned in agony. Her air tread dissolved as she collapsed
and rolled. The crowd gasped . . .
