Humanity's last sanctuary was built on a lie.
The world ended beneath the ice.
In the decades that followed, humanity's survivors found refuge inside Arborealis-a towering arcology rising from the frozen heart of Antarctica. Protected by the brilliant visionary Caspian Vane, its citizens believe they are the last people left alive.
Elara Vane has never questioned that story.
Then a mysterious message leads her into forgotten tunnels beneath the city.
Hidden below Arborealis lies an abandoned artificial intelligence, impossible secrets, and a young man whose very existence should be impossible. Together, they begin unraveling a conspiracy that reaches back to the founding of the last human civilization.
But some truths were buried for a reason.
As the walls separating history from myth begin to crumble, Elara must decide whether protecting humanity means preserving her father's greatest achievement... or destroying everything she has ever called home.
Perfect for readers who enjoy atmospheric science fiction, mysterious worlds, hidden civilizations, and thought-provoking adventures where every answer uncovers a deeper question.
