The year is 1943 and Harry Wilkins has been sent back from the front in disgrace. But the war is far from over for Harry, because he is being sent to the coldest, most remote and inhospitable place on earth... the arctic. A place where the sun only rises for a few scant hours, and darkness reigns. A place where myth and legend are as real as the cold. And here, at the ends of the earth, Harry Wilkins will come face to face with an unspeakable evil that will be either his death or a final chance at redemption.
