Fate can be a cruel mistress. She caters to no one, not even to a princess of the Northern Ice. No matter how much power Irene has she cannot escape the claws of fate. Her life goes from happiness to sorrow, from hope to deperation. No, it isn't personal. Fate only does her duty and moves along. It's all very unfortunate. 

Irene's whole life changes in mere seconds and suddenly the threat of death looms over her, with no known cure. Every healer from the Northern Ice visits her, tries everything they can think to cure her, but curses aren't lifted so easily. Every healer and doctor they can reach from around the world try their hand, all ending in failure. Time is running out, and in desperation the queen goes against her own beliefs and sends for any witches or sorcerers who are willing to help. Most don't receive the invitation warmly, but one witch who has devoted her life to healing and helping others graciously accepts the invitation. Seulgi can make no promises, curses this powerful are extremely dangerous, but she promises to dedicate all of her time to Irene.

And so begins their love story.
