When you least expect it

As soon as Kozmotis Pitchiner starts his shore leave he's told he is to start a new assignment the next day. He's a workaholic but still, it's very annoying.He's to be taught magical defense by Nicholas St North. His first challenge is to get to the North Pole: to cross an icy wasteland and survive attacks from yetis, falls from bridges and an encounter with a rather attractive wizard-in-training named Jack Frost. When he completes the challenge he's rewarded with a kiss from Jack, so maybe things aren't so bad after all.
