Eleven years underground. One fragile sign of hope.
For eleven years, Ben Tildon has lived beneath the earth, sheltered in a colony built to protect its people from the brutal effects of a mini-ice age.
Then a purple crocus gives him a reason to look beyond the refuge that has kept him alive.
Drawn by the possibility of a life on the surface, Ben emerges into a world he no longer knows. The flower proves that something can survive aboveground. It tells him nothing about the dangers waiting there.
The colony protected him from the cold. It could not prepare him for everything that has changed.
Now Ben must discover what eleven years have done to the world-and whether he can survive long enough to find a place in it.
Spring promises life. It does not promise safety.
