Ashfall Lake: The Ice Holds What Shouldn't Rise
A lake sealed in ice for a thousand years.
A body that should have stayed buried.
Some hungers don't die; they wait.
Deep in the Yukon wilderness, where the winters swallow roads and the silence can break a person's mind, Ashfall Lake has always been avoided. The local Dene legends warn of it: the unnatural groaning of the ice, the way the air feels wrong, and the belief that it's not a lake at all but a prison.
When an unseasonal glacier break reveals a perfectly preserved body and it opens its eyes, RCMP Sergeant Kara Ellison is drawn into an investigation that becomes a fight for survival. The melting ice has unleashed more than one hunger. What stalks the valley is older than the Yukon, older than the mountains, and it does not walk alone.
As a freak thaw accelerates, ancient enemies long entombed join forces under the command of something far worse awakening in the depths. The isolation that once protected Dawson now traps it, cutting Kara and a small group of survivors off from the outside world. Each night, the fog thickens. Each night, more people vanish into it without a sound.
To save anyone or keep the horror from reaching beyond the North, Kara must face the truth. Naomi Attungaq and the elders always knew: the ice never lets go. It only waits to rise again.
From Prasanth N.M. comes a relentless horror adventure thriller about endurance, ancient vendettas, and the cost of buying another dawn in a place where every breath might be your last.
