GENRE: Fantasy

BLURB:
Fire and
Frost; no two nations have ever been so divided. Only two bridges across the
great River Gora connects them and their long standing hatred. When spring
comes early, the Frost Nation looks upon the Fire Nation with suspicion. Soon
they will discover that the rising rivers, warmer temperatures, and the
earthquakes are all a result of something far more terrifying then each other.
When the world seems to turn against them they will only have each other to
look to. Can they put their differences aside long enough to fix their planet?
They must or face extinction.

“What’s
in your head, Thea?” Fitzu asked in a warning tone.
“Saving
that bridge,” Thea replied and began to blaze her own core, heating up her skin
so hot that an orange aura of fire magic lightly haloed her body and the cold
rain couldn’t hurt her. The water would evaporate with a hiss and a puff of
steam as soon as it touched her.
“Thea,”
Fitzu said doubtfully, as his skin started to glow when he began to blaze his
own core. “It’s a thirty-minute ride up the riverbank. That only leaves three
and a half hours of constant magic use to actually try to save this bridge
before our magic quits and we have to rest. After that, without our magic to
blaze our cores, the cold rain will kill us all. I don’t fancy being turned
into stone.”
Thea
gave him an impatient, angry look. “I’m well aware of how our people’s magic
works, Fitzu.” She took a step towards him. “But I couldn’t live with myself if
we didn’t at least try. As much as I hate it, and hate the Frost Nation, we
need that bridge to trade with them.”
Fitzu
shrugged carelessly. “Do you see me glowing orange?” He asked flatly,
indicating he already knew he wouldn’t be able to talk Thea out of trying to
save that bridge. Thea smirked at him and gave him a nod. Her men knew her so
well.
The
rain had already started by the time all two hundred and fifty magic users were
rallied, on horseback and heading west along the river bank. Guyus, Orn, and
Waik were even riding along, their titles and ranks forgotten, niceties and
protocols abandoned; everyone was just a person trying to save his or her
nation right now.
A
half hour later, Thea and the party arrived at the bridge. The sight was
shocking, devastating. Thea pulled on her horse’s reigns so tightly that she
nearly caused him to rear up. The water was almost level with the bridge, and
raging waves were already crashing along the sides of the foundation and
exploding over the top of the stone.
One
look and Thea realized she wasn’t going to just be able to thicken the top so
it didn’t flood. She would have to strengthen the very foundation, which was already
missing huge pieces and rocking.
“What
do we do, Thea?” Fitzu called over the crashing waves and pouring rain.
He
was cloaked in his own halo of steam, like everyone else in her party, the rain
water sizzling off their burning skin. Thea clenched her teeth and dismounted.
“Everyone! To me!” she cried over the roaring river.
