The Great Serpent is dead, the order is defeated, the world is recovering from the madness of the civil war. The coming winter carefully covers the ground with snow, hiding blood and ash, marking the beginning of a new life. Norika Nero, a senior officer of the order, is also trying to start a new life, whom revenge and hatred for former teachers led to the side of their enemy. The young king invited her to head the school, where the surviving snakes will receive shelter. Norika dreams of finding peace in helping the children she once saved. But maybe this winter will not only save you from nightmares, but bring something else? Happiness that I no longer dared to hope for. And a love that seemed to be long dead.
