Caivra Voss

Caivra was raised in an orphanage after her mother died in childbirth. By ten, she had found purpose in the precision of blade work. At seventeen, the Embassy recruited her as a bodyguard. At twenty-three, she threw herself between a diplomat and a sorcerer's strike. The blast stopped her heart. They brought her back by embedding the Winterglass Shard in her chest—binding her to frost, fixing her body temperature at fifty-eight degrees. She survived. But over the years, sensation has dulled. Heat, cold, touch—all fading like memories. She fears the Shard is not saving her but replacing her, one nerve at a time.
