A Fox, a Bear, and a Reckoning

Murdered during the frozen apocalypse, Ethan wakes up on beast selection day. His killer is back too—and swaps his white fox for Ethan's cold-resistant bear. But the fox chooses Ethan, and the bear remembers their past life. As she turns the killer into her servant, Ethan pours everything into raising the fox whose life is now bound to his. With another deadly winter approaching, his rival blocks his path—without recognizing the boy he once killed.
