when they finally reach the ice cap, he struggles to understand a series of
frightening yet enticing visions.

Thea has never seen the sun. Her extraordinary people, suspected of

they’ve built deep inside the arctic ice.

As Thea dreams of a path to Earth’s surface, Peter’s search for answers brings

and adventure at the top of the world.
