Three souls, one friendship

*

Vil
Newly engaged and thriving, Vil is happier than he’s ever been before and eager to wed his beloveds. So eager that he doesn’t hesitate to agree to a wedding date a mere thirty-two days away.

*

Bex
In need of distraction from an aching heart, Bex is excited to throw herself into the whirlwind planning of her best friend’s wedding. But added to the stress of running a pub in tourist season, arranging all this could be more than she can handle.

*

Vanya
Fresh off a breakup and taking a hiatus from her career in interdimensional magics, Vanya has retreated to her hometown to take charge of her late aunt’s teashop. But in her time away from home, she developed a fear of snow, which is a big problem in a ski town and mortifying for an ice elemental.


The three friends have always had each other’s backs and one of them getting married isn’t about to change that. But with so much to do in so little time, will they be able to help each other through their stress, fears, and anxieties?

Winter’s First Verse is a cozy fantasy about familial love, lifelong bonds, and supporting the people who support you.



Winter's First Verse occurs directly following The Harmony of Falling Snow. Although it has a self-contained plot, it will make more sense and be more meaningful for people who have read Harmony.
