Wanja Westerback : In Ice and Blood

Aquila's life belongs to her King.

As his assassin she does her duty without question.
When a threat to King Myles rises, she's sent out to quench it. As efficiently and ruthlessly as always.

Betrayed, Aquila is left to suffer under a cruel curse. One that steals everything from her, leaving only agonizing guilt.

Her failure to kill severed the world.

Determined to set things right, Aquila sets off on a journey through a tangle of missing memories and a world that no longer works as she remembers. At least she's not alone, her savior stays by her side.

Wanja was born on mainland Finland and moved to the autonomus archipelago Åland at three years old. She's always loved telling stories, speaking them before she could write on her own.
Aside from this, Wanja loves reading and anything "nerdy". Taking walks in the forest, pretending to be on a big adventure is a favorite pastime of hers. Freediving is a huge part of her life and works both like a break from the steady stream of new ideas, and a way to channel them into something controllable.
In 2019 the idea to write a book took root and in 2022 she's finished her debut novel, In Ice and Blood. The first part in a planned duology called The Severed Kingdom.
