magic the season has to offer.

EXCERPT
AT FIRST SNOWFALL
"Adelaide, you are just going to have to trust Prince
Jayce," Mauricio interjected. "We don't have time to talk this one
over. On the first day of the snowfall, Prince Jayce saw Xiomara in the midst
of the chaos, which now we know is the day the Daemons are unleashed,"
Mauricio continued.
"When do you expect the first snowfall?" Mara
asked. "Will we have enough time to get an army together to fight these
things?"
"We have a week," Jayce said. "Unlike the
human realm, weather is predictable here."
"My birthday..." she murmured before she looked at
them, each in turn. "Chaos would be unleashed on my birthday?
Christmas!" Mara shook her head as if she couldn't take anymore. "I
don't want to hear this. Not yet... not now... Just...just stop talking about
me and what I need to do." She started ahead of them as if she wanted to
be as far away from them as possible.
