Trapped beneath the ice. Hunted from above.

When a long-lost research vessel is discovered entombed beneath the Arctic ice, Peter Black is called into the shadows by the ship’s enigmatic billionaire owner. Aboard the icebreaker Ithaca, he joins a volatile crew bound for the wreck—each with secrets, and one with a deadly agenda.


Below the ice lies the Orpheus, a sunken tomb that was never meant to be found. What Peter’s team uncovers is no ordinary wreck, but the site of something far more sinister—something that should have stayed buried.


As betrayals fracture the mission and a phantom vessel closes in, Peter must navigate not just the crushing depths, but the looming specter of global catastrophe.
