Prologue
Being a Goddess isn’t all it’s made out to be. The worst thing isn’t the urge to randomly teleport to faraway places, or stopping people from prostrating before me in the street. No, it’s the fact that I can no longer see my men as I used to.
My vision has changed; my eyes are no longer human. I see magic, everywhere, in everyone, but it hides their features, makes it impossible to see their bodies. All I see is their magic, their emotions, their souls. I call it their aura, although I’m sure there’s a more technical term for it.
It’s not the same though. I’d much rather get a glimpse of their faces again. Crispin’s cheeky smile, Frost’s grin, Arc’s mocking eyebrows, even Storm’s broody frown. They’re hidden from me, despite all my magic. It tears me apart to not be able to watch their expressions as they talk.
They shine and sparkle, their silhouettes bright, so it’s not as if I’m blind, but the detail is washed away by the colour of magic. I don’t want to see all their innermost secrets. It’s not good for our relationship. I wonder if they’re scared of me, the new Wyn. Goddess Wynter, they call me, the new Winter Goddess.
I’d give up all my new powers gladly if I could only see their smiles again.
