Icebound Isle Icebound Isle By Megan Cutler | May 12, 2017 | Comments 0 Comment I returned to my first world, dismayed to find it dying. Everything I built remained; the high tower, the markers, the secret place. Winter claimed the rest. Rolling green hills shrouded in snow. Warm, sandy beaches became mud traps.
