Title: The Price of Frost

Level: Advanced (C1-C2)

Description

Saga Lehtonen has spent nineteen years hiding a family gift she barely understands — the power to summon frost and ice at will. When an unprecedented wildfire threatens to burn her Finnish village to the ground, she finally unleashes the full extent of her ability in public for the first time, saving hundreds of homes in a single desperate act.

But magic this powerful was never meant to be free. As Saga's body grows colder by the week, her heartbeat slowing toward a fate that claimed one of her own ancestors decades earlier, her grandmother and the village's keeper of old folklore race to uncover a forgotten ritual — one that might be the only thing standing between Saga and a price nobody ever fully explained to her.

The Price of Frost is a sweeping Nordic fantasy about sacrifice, inheritance, and the danger of carrying great power entirely alone. Written for advanced English learners, it builds through mounting peril toward a powerful, community-driven resolution — proof that even the deepest winter can be thawed by enough gathered warmth.
