Summary
They say there’s an enchantress in the far north who steals men, turning their hearts to ice within their breast and bearing them away to her frigid, silent citadel, where nothing grows, and all the flowers that once bloomed are rimed in frost, too cold even to wither.
Unfortunately, unlike many of the things Jaskier sings about, this turns out to be true.
