A healer obsessed with death and glory.

A doomed quest to the frozen edge of the world.

To become a legend, she must wage a one-woman war against the grave.

When an immortal Warden launches a voyage to the frozen edge of the world, Alice seizes the chance to prove herself and forces her way on board.

The mission: rescue a fragment of God locked beneath the polar ice.

But when the expedition is trapped in a white wasteland, the mission shifts from rescue to brutal survival. Stranded miles from civilization, the crew is besieged by a rotting sickness and a relentless, intelligent beast that stalks their trail.

Worse, the earth and running water Alice needs to fuel her magic are gone. To keep twenty-four men alive, she must push her powers beyond their known limits, pioneering gruesome techniques and risking the corruption of her mind.

As the shadows close in, Alice learns that being a hero isn't about the power to heal—it’s about having the strength to decide who lives, and who must be left behind.
