Jo Peterson chases storms. She moves between continents like a person collecting evidence of something she can’t quite name—hurricanes in the Caribbean, blizzards in Siberia, whatever weather system is most violent and far from anywhere she’d have to stay still. Meteorologist by training, nomad by necessity.
Then Ty Blackwell asks. Ty, who’s been the only constant in Jo’s life, who somehow understands that anchoring yourself to a place means anchoring yourself to disappointment. She wants Jo in Antarctica. A full year. Stationed at the South Pole through the dark months while the rest of the world moves on without them.
Jo says no. Then she says yes.
The mission assembles: ten women, each one carrying something they didn’t advertise. The ice doesn’t care about their credentials or their reasons for being here. It just applies pressure. Someone starts sabotaging equipment. People stop trusting each other. Messages get garbled in translation, or maybe they’re not being translated at all—just intercepted and reinterpreted through whatever lens people need them to be. The mission doctor arrives with a history she won’t discuss and eyes that make Jo remember why she runs.
Antarctica doesn’t forgive small problems. The cold doesn’t distinguish between psychological collapse and frostbite. These women have to figure out how to survive the landscape and each other, in a place where leaving isn’t an option and nowhere is far enough away.
