Invited to McMurdo Station, a podcaster heads for Antarctica to tear down the conspiracy theories surrounding that empty expanse of ice and snow.
The cold is misery, and the grim captain ordered to babysit her is worse, but she still means to give her listeners the truth they came for.
That truth is an ancient dragon, huge enough to smash mountains, with teeth many times her size and an appetite for flesh, a nightmare bent on destruction that claims her as its unwilling servant.
Cut off on the ice, she cannot escape it, no matter how hard the steely-eyed soldier fights to pull her free.
When four hatchlings and their sire arrive hoping to reason with their ancient kin, nothing guarantees they can stop the coming massacre.
