Hours felt like days. The cold bit through layers of wool and hide. Just as Ganco’s knees began to buckle, the screaming wind abruptly died. They had breached the eye.

The wind over the Great Steppe did not just blow; it screamed. In the heart of this frozen wasteland lived Ganco, a man whose skin was as weathered as the bark of an ancient cedar. Beside him stood Andi, his loyal companion—not a dog, but a massive, silver-furred mountain cat with eyes like polished amber. ganco_andi_burya

It was a cathedral of ice. Towers of frozen vapor rose hundreds of feet into a clear, starlit sky, shielded by the spinning wall of the blizzard.
