The Citadel Archives

Episode Two turns the Citadel Archives inward, asking a more dangerous question: who was Maeve Moran allowed to be before the world decided what she was worth?In this episode, we examine Maeve’s life before and after the coup—her isolation within the castle, the quiet exploitation of her magic, and the moment her body becomes the battleground on which power is claimed. Maeve’s story is not just one of survival, but of ownership: who controlled her choices, her magic, and her future long before the blade ever touched her.Because before Maeve can decide what she will become,we have to understand who she was forced to be.Follow Whitney on Instagram⁠https://www.instagram.com/whitneywritesstuff⁠Purchasing links for The Land of Frost can be found on Whitney's website ⁠https://www.whitneygibbsauthor.com/steel-citadel

Episode One opens the Citadel Archives by asking a deceptively simple question: what kind of world does The Land of Frost take place in—and why does it feel so unforgiving?In this spoiler-light episode, we strip the story back to its foundations, examining the continent, the kingdom, and the political structures that shape everyday life long before Maeve’s fall. From fractured territories to centralized power, this world is not merely a backdrop—it is an active force shaping survival, loyalty, and control.Because before we can understand who survives this world, we have to understand what it was designed to do.Follow Whitney on Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/whitneywritesstuffPurchasing links for The Land of Frost can be found on Whitney's website https://www.whitneygibbsauthor.com/steel-citadel
