Detective Ava Martinez heads to Alaska in search of rest, hoping the snow-covered quiet will offer a break from the relentless pace of her life. Instead, she's drawn into a dangerous mystery when a strange rhythmic pulse-an unexplained signal rising from deep within the Arctic-captures the attention of powerful interests.
What begins as a moment of curiosity quickly escalates into a high-stakes chase across Alaska's breathtaking and unforgiving landscapes. Teaming with the enigmatic Cole Stratton, Ava finds herself navigating political tension, corporate ambition, and the shadowy forces determined to control a discovery with global implications.
As the pair move from the crowded energy of Anchorage during the Iditarod to the remote expanse of the North Slope, the truth becomes increasingly elusive-and increasingly perilous. The land itself seems to hold secrets that no one fully understands, and those who seek to exploit them will stop at nothing.
Borealis blends atmospheric suspense, geopolitical intrigue, and the raw power of the natural world into a gripping eco-thriller. It's a story about the collision between human ambition and the rhythms of a landscape that refuses to be tamed.
