About this book

Valerie Chesterfield, a linguist specializing in dead Nordic languages, is called to a remote research station off Greenland when her twin brother—a climate scientist stationed there—is found dead in subzero wilderness. Val suspects foul play rather than suicide. Her arrival coincides with another discovery: a girl found frozen in ice, alive and speaking an unknown language. Val is asked to help interpret the girl's words. Determined to uncover the truth about both her brother's death and the girl's origins, Val ventures into the harsh Arctic landscape. As she works to decipher the girl's cryptic language, she begins to suspect that answers to both mysteries are connected to the research station itself. With the child's life at risk and danger mounting, Val must unravel the truth before it remains hidden beneath the ice. The novel blends psychological suspense, survival adventure, and climate fiction, exploring themes of grief, isolation, science, and survival in an extreme environment.
