- Winner of The Readers' Choice Award 2000
- We join Mallara and Burn once again (#93 "The Asking and the Vow", #121 "The Helpers"). This time, they are investigating a ring of stones near a village which is reputedly inhabited by the Winter King, an ancient spirit. It is also Ollow's Eve, a time of celebration late in the fall before the onset of winter. During the night, Mallara encounters what definitely appears to be the Winter King, except she realizes that it is actually an elemental, trapped here by the evil power of the stones and by the beliefs of the villagers. She manages to free the spirit, who remains in the form of the Winter King. Mallara doesn't know if there was a Winter King before, but suspects that there is now.
