The year is 2040. Climate collapse is real, and the world's last hope for biodiversity - the Global Seed Vault in Svalbard - is compromised by permafrost melt.
Enter Dr. Elina Myles, a brilliant glaciologist grieving her brother's death in a deadly European heatwave. Sent to investigate, she discovers more than just thawed soil: an ancient metallic structure, human remains older than recorded history, and a mystery that challenges everything we know about human civilization.
Aided by Sylvia Zhao, a rogue climate hacker, and Commander Anik Singh, a military official hiding his own secrets, Elina uncovers a suppressed truth - a civilization that once achieved environmental balance thousands of years before us... and was buried for it.
But powerful governments and climate-tech corporations will do anything to keep that secret buried.
A thrilling fusion of science, mythology, and conspiracy, Beneath the Melting Sky is a race against time where the stakes are the planet's future - and the cost of truth might be extinction.
