The Frozen Destiny

In the realm of Everglade, Princess Ava Sullivan, the 7th princess and the cherished child of King Leo Sullivan, faces a challenging existence. Despite lacking magical powers and not knowing her true mother, her father's love remains unwavering. However, her life takes a somber twist as an unprecedented Winter season descends upon the kingdom, freezing everything in its wake, causing death and devastation. Since the age of 14, Ava has wrestled with the burden of proving herself through aptitude tests, only to face disappointment each time, leading others to ridicule her abilities. Though the people of the capital refrain from openly bullying her due to King Leo's protection, Ava's life is suddenly upended when the Winter's wrath engulfs the kingdom, resulting in a surge of fatalities. Desperate to save his realm, King Leo is faced with a harrowing choice: to appease the God of winter, Glaciara, and end the merciless cold, he must sacrifice his beloved child, Ava, in accordance with ancient tradition. Therefore, the King personally sends Ava to the treacherous wilderness in the name of the ritual. Despite the seemingly impossible odds, the people of Everglade pray fervently for Glaciara to accept this sacrifice and spare them from the endless winter's grip. Remarkably, their prayers are answered, and within a few days, the relentless winter begins to relent. However, a surprising turn of events occurs, contradicting everyone's expectations. After one month, to everyone's astonishment, Ava returns with a cub of the Lioxx—a race that is a combination of lion and fox, just like the name suggests. This cub, like Ava, lacks any magical abilities. The kingdom marvels at how Ava managed to survive but wholeheartedly welcomes her back. Embark on a captivating adventure as you follow Ava and the Lioxx cub on their enigmatic journey. Delve into the depths of this compelling tale to unearth the secrets and untold wonders that shaped Ava's life forever. ------------ Author's Note: Dear Readers, I am thrilled to present to you my very first novel.

Prologue: The Merging of Souls

In a cold, snowy place that used to be full of life, everything was covered in white snow. The snowflakes fell from the sky, making the area beautiful but harsh. Once it was a dangerous yet exciting place, but now it was silent and reminded people of how great it used to be.

In this freezing land, something sad happened. A young girl, around 16 or 17 years old, was buried in the snow and didn't move. The cold weather had taken her life. Her pretty hair was now covered in snow, and her skin looked pale like she was asleep. Her eyes were closed, and the snow was trying to cover her completely.

She was the seventh princess of a kingdom named Everglade. She should have been safe in her palace, but she ended up in this snowy place because of a tradition to please a winter god named Glaciara. Even though she was loved by her father, the king, and she didn't have magical powers, they still sent her here to die. She didn't protest, even though everyone knew she would not survive.

In another world that was chaotic and destructive, there was a team trying to save people. A young girl, around 16 or 17 years old, was leading them with all her strength. She used her powers to help others without stopping, even though it was very hard.

They managed to save many lives, but the young girl fell down because she was so tired. She had given everything to save others, even her own life. She looked like Princess Ava from the other world, except for her hair color.

This girl was called Mercenary Queen Ava, and she was powerful and tough. She was very different from the kind Princess Ava. Fate made these two very different people meet at the same time. Something strange happened, and their souls came together.

When their souls merged, Princess Ava came back to life. She looked better and stronger than before. The snow melted, and the world became colorful and alive again. Birds flew, animals came out, and the forest was noisy with life.

Princess Ava woke up, feeling confused. She realized she had two different lives in two different worlds. One was full of love and kindness, and the other was full of darkness and cruelty. She had to figure out who she really was and go on a big adventure to find the truth.
