On the eve of the world's collapse, when the deadly heat was about to consume everything, two beastmen came to claim me and my sister. She chose the Phoenix—handsome and powerful—and forced the Ice Serpent, cruel and lazy, onto me. When the heat wave struck and temperatures soared past 160 degrees Farenheit, she burned to death. Before dying, she laced her belongings with poison. When I went to collect her body, I was poisoned and died too. Then I opened my eyes. I was back at the moment we first chose our beast husbands. This time, my sister rushed to bind herself to the Ice Serpent, believing she had won. But what she didn’t know was that after the heat came the great freeze. And I would be the one to see if she and her serpent could survive it.
