~Mortal Ice is currently undergoing some editing, sorry for any inconvenience! As always I really do appreciate you commenting feedback, so please continue to do so!~ In a parallel world, love is forbidden. Long ago, Fey lived a different way. They embraced love, and lived in a perfect harmony. But peace doesn't last. One day, everything changed. A Fire Fey who called himself 'The Unifier' invaded the other Elements (Earth, Ice and Storm) with his supporters, and used their love against them. It wasn't long before he controlled Faery as a whole. The war for love went on for a century before the gods of Faery, the Elementals Intervened. They created a new type of Fey, learls. Half Fey, half Elemental, and deadly to both. The first learl saved Faery. But no gratitude was given. The Fey were too afraid of him. They killed him, and put an end to learls. But they couldn't go back to living the way they had. They vowed not to fight anymore, and never again would they let love be their weakness. Love was banned, and they formed The Circle, a ruling committee on which a representative from each Element was chosen. They world has stayed this way since. Kestrel has always obeyed the rules. Falling in love has never been an option, and she has never considered it. One day, she is sent to kill a learl. Instead, she finds a boy with a gentle soul. Touched, she begins to question what her beliefs were made up of. When the time comes, will she follow her head, or her heart? ~This story is told from two POVs~
