Who would've thought that a single action, like the flapping of the wings of a butterfly, could change the course of an entire kingdom—but you can't blame a butterfly for your own actions.
On a typical hot summer night, you were woken up by an oddly chilly breeze that robbed you of all warmth. Little did you know that what happened in the next few minutes would be the cause of so much suffering.
You were touched by ice, your body and soul rendered useless as it raked through every particle of your being. The curse brought forth an endless winter that almost shattered the economy of a once bountiful kingdom—your kingdom. Your parents saw no other option but to send you into exile with only a handful of servants and your faithful keeper, and in exile you stayed until fate showed its ugly head again.
FROSBITE has horror, body horror, romance, and sexual elements as core features, so reader discretion is advised.
✧ Customize your MC, their appearance and personality. How do you cope with the fate placed upon you? Accepting or resentful? And how much to you blame your own people for it?
✧ Choose the type of relationship you have with your family members. Are you bitter towards them, or do you sympathize with the choices they had to make for the good of the kingdom?
✧ Accept the hand you've been given and marry the Crown Prince / Princess or fight against it every step of the way;
✧ Take a polar bear under your care and build a unique friendship with the loyalest of creatures;
✧ Hone your powers, sharpen your mind, or develop your body. This is an unforgiving world, don't let your guard down;
✧ What secrets lie beyond the mysterious curse forced upon you? Can you trust the being that almost killed you?
Apollon ❄ Apollonia
Also known as the "Fire Elemental", or one of its many reincarnations. Apollo hails from Braza, also known as the "City of Fire", a city of spires surrounded by active volcanoes and rich, fertile soil. They assume the role of your potential kidnapper, and no matter their real intentions or opinions on the matter, they will complete the task they have been given—the future of Braza depends on it.
Apollo is known for their fiery temper—no pun intended—and caustic nature. Always ready for a battle, specially if their own inflated ego is bruised, they never back away from a fight no matter how the odds are stacked against them.

Crown Prince Malthus ❄ Princess Malthea
The heir of Empress Suzerana of Vallaris. As the Empress's only child, Mal has the arduous duty of ascending to the throne one day, but the unrealistic expectations set on their shoulders to be all that their mother is and more take a toll on them. The hill they have to climb becomes even steeper when the news of an arranged marriage reaches their ears.
Mal is a devoted family person who is willing to sacrifice anything, even their own well-being and happiness, to protect their empire and people. Their active nature, though, is what they're so well-liked for. People often count on this and their innovative nature in times of need. They will be sure to play the hand they have been dealt.

Keeper Ciel ❄ Celeste
Your best and possibly only friend since you can remember, Ciel / Celeste grew up among royalty and nobles as a squire of Dame Maud the She-wolf. They were there, right by your side, when the hands of winter ensnared your heart. If it weren't for them, you would be dead, but they paid a heavy price for their bravery.
No one is more devoted to a single cause than they are, the cause being your safety. They will be your shield and safe harbor, come danger or storm. With callous hands that are immune to your ice-cold ones and a naturally benevolent heart, they are your only reprieve from solitude.

Magister Isidore ❄ Isidora
Keeper Ciel / Celeste's adoptive sibling, the Magister, is a constant presence at your side, but instead of being tasked with protecting you, their only purpose is to help you protect yourself. The title of magister is only given to those extremely accomplished individuals, both in body and mind, as well as in elemental magic.
They took on the daunting task of training you when no one else would, much to their peers' dismay, all in hopes of keeping tabs on their sibling—or so they say. Why did they forgo a successful career in the capital to live isolated in the middle of nowhere? Is their loyalty to the crown that high?
