The Fulcrum of Frost

Fulcória is a prosperous kingdom built on trade, magical engineering, and the uneasy cooperation of humans, elves, dwarves, kobolds, and orcs. It is also deeply in debt. Belladona Soturne de Fulcória, an elven general and royal counselor, is far more accustomed to military reports, budget disputes, and keeping the kingdom functioning than to conspiracies. But when mana stones disappear from military storage, people begin vanishing, and an old extremist symbol returns to the streets of Regnória, ordinary administrative problems start connecting into something much larger. Alongside a stubborn young kobold named Nicolas and a government already strained by debt and political instability, Belladona must uncover a growing network operating beneath the kingdom before fear turns Fulcória against itself. In a world where magic is calculated, engineered, and built into everyday life, information may prove more dangerous than any spell. The Fulcrum of Frost is a character-driven high fantasy combining political intrigue, mystery, magical engineering, and a slowly escalating national crisis.
