Breathe in Frost - Breathe out Fire Elara is a shadow within the walls of Telveria Keep, a maid whose only sanctuary is her lifelong friendship with a formidable Captain. But when a bout of asthma forces her soul to flee into the spirit realm, she captures the attention of a high commander who sees her not as a servant, but as a weapon. Thrust into a deadly expedition, Elara must compete against twenty-four elite soldiers to become one of four legendary Phoenix Souls. A trial where the cost of failure is the consumption of one's very soul to feed the Phoenix nest. Survival is a gamble on every front. Elara must navigate a landscape of ferocious wildlife, wild magic that awakens a forbidden command of ice within her, and rivals who view her as a target to be eliminated. Amidst the chaos emerges Enzo, a dark and enigmatic fifth Phoenix Soul with his own shadowy designs for her future. But the greatest danger waits at journey's end: The Phoenix themselves recognise Elara, and are waiting to settle a personal grudge that has been smoldering for generations.
