A Song of Farewell: A storm is coming, can Robin’s magic meet it head on?

Much has changed for Robin and Mariam since the birth of their daughter, Rowan, still known by all as Cabbage. It has been almost two years, and all four of their little family, Ma included, have moved to a larger house on a small holding on the edge of the forest just outside of town. Robin, now a journeyman wizard and partner in his old master Shirkan’s business, is enjoying his new adventure of being a husband and father. He has an apprentice of his own; Cabbage, as well as learning her sounds is discovering how to use her magic in a way that Robin, thanks to the suppression amulet he wore to manage his Wildling heritage, was never able to, and he is enjoying teaching his daughter about the instincts that come so naturally to her. Mariam, too, since coming into her Wildling magic, has begun studying divination with her father, George.

Life is looking good for the young family. However, a storm is coming. Robin can feel an unsettled strangeness to the power of what should have been just an ordinary snowstorm. It is making Cabbage restless as well. Such nerves could be put down to the natural tumult reacting with their Winter Wildling blood. Yet, Mariam’s power of divination comes from quite another source and she too is sensing that something is wrong.

What awaits in the coming maelstrom? Is it trouble that Mariam is discerning? Robin must face the challenges brought by the ice and snow and use all that he is to fight a terrible destiny that comes from the same power that made him?
