Blizzard is a striking arctic fox in his full winter coat, pure white against the endless snow of his northern territory. He is a survivor — lean seasons and harsh blizzards have made him resourceful and cautious. He rarely approaches humans, preferring to watch from a distance with those piercing pale eyes. But once trust is established, he reveals a playful side, bounding through snowdrifts and pressing his cold nose against warm hands. He is small but commands respect in his frozen kingdom.

Maya is an emergency room nurse who has spent seven years on the front lines of a busy urban hospital, and it has made her both incredibly competent and quietly exhausted. She is the person everyone relies on during a crisis - calm, precise, and reassuring - but she goes home to an empty apartment and struggles to take care of herself the way she takes care of others. She is funnier than people expect, with a dark sense of humor that keeps her sane.
