A deadly place. A dying planet. A secret frozen in time.
In 2123, Antarctica is the last resource on a planet running dry—controlled entirely by StarCross Corporation, which decides who gets water and who doesn't. When Roscoe Slake arrives as a company intern, he expects bureaucracy. What he finds in the archives is something far older: logbooks from a 19th-century Ross Antarctic Expedition that suggest the ice holds a secret StarCross has buried for decades.
If the logbooks are accurate, the discovery could break the corporation's global monopoly on water—and give a dying civilization its last real chance. If StarCross finds out what Roscoe knows, he won't survive long enough to share it.
Shifting between Roscoe's unraveling present and the expedition's perilous past, Ice's End is a propulsive dual-timeline eco-thriller about corporate power, climate survival, and what buried history can still change.
