A lethal peril threatens the survival of Earth itself, and the Great Old Ones and their deadly enemies are both in motion…and they are not alone. When disaster strikes Tornarssukalik Station, Toby must make his escape across arctic wasteland, sail on a ship crewed crewed by undead pirates and captained by the Terrible Old Man, and face all his deepest fears in a journey in which love, betrayal, and death are constant companions.
